Can I take Amlodipine and Losartin together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways: amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, while losartan blocks a hormone that constricts them. When used together, their effects add up. Losartan can also cause the kidneys to hold onto more potassium.

This is a very common and effective combination for treating high blood pressure. You should take them exactly as prescribed. To stay safe, stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Your doctor will likely perform regular blood tests to check your kidney function and potassium levels. If you feel very dizzy or notice a fast, pounding heartbeat, contact your doctor.
