Can I take Amitriptyline and Jardiance together?

Why this happens

Jardiance works by removing sugar and extra fluid from the body through urine, which can lower blood pressure. Amitriptyline can cause 'orthostatic hypotension,' which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions (like standing up from a chair). Together, these effects can make you feel lightheaded or faint.

You can usually take these together, but you should be careful. Make sure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. When getting out of bed or standing up from a chair, do so slowly to give your body time to adjust. If you feel very dizzy, faint, or notice you are urinating much less than usual, speak to your doctor.
