Can I take Amlodipine and Chemydur 60xl together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work by relaxing and widening your blood vessels to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart. When used together, their effects add up, which can lead to an excessively low blood pressure (hypotension).

You can take these medicines together if they have been prescribed by your doctor, but you should be cautious. To prevent dizziness, try to get up slowly when standing. If you feel very dizzy, have a persistent headache, or feel like you might faint, sit or lie down immediately and contact your doctor. Your doctor may want to monitor your blood pressure more closely when you first start this combination.
