Can I take Amlodopine and Danazol together?

Why this happens

Amlodipine is broken down in the liver by a specific enzyme (CYP3A4). Danazol interferes with this process by blocking the enzyme, which means the amlodipine stays in your system longer and reaches higher levels than normal.

What you should do

You should speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. Your doctor may need to monitor your blood pressure more closely or adjust your dose of amlodipine while you are taking danazol. If you feel unusually dizzy or faint, contact your healthcare provider.
