Can I take Amlopadine and Aspirin together?

Why this happens

Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs. These can sometimes cause the body to hold onto salt and water, and they can interfere with natural chemicals called prostaglandins that help keep blood vessels relaxed. This can slightly counteract the blood-pressure-lowering effect of amlodipine.

What you should do

You can usually take these two medicines together. However, you should monitor your blood pressure regularly to ensure it stays within the target range set by your doctor. If you notice your blood pressure rising or if you experience unusual bruising or stomach pain, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
