My husband has vascular dementia and very high blood pressure. He takes 50mg metoprolol twice a day & now taking Amlodipine 10mg once a day. Amlodipine has worked wonders for his dementia. A very big improvements with his memory. For us it's a miracle drug. And his blood pressure has improved as well. Great video!
Awesome! Good to hear. I wish him all the best.
On Amlodipine and it is probably responsible for the edema I am experiencing on the right ankle and leg. The inflammation does not seem to go away even though have not taken it for a while now due to the low BP.
Very good information. Thank you Dr.
Awesome and enlightening content. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
Thankyou. Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much doctor for shedding more light on Amlodipine.
l have been taking it for five years ..but there's a great relief
You are very welcome.
Awesome - thank you
My pleasure!
Thanks Kwaku, the information is very insightful. I am on Amlodipine and have gained more understanding of it now. We need more explanation like this.
You are very welcome. I am glad you found it insightful.
Great content!
Thanks a bunch!
My doctor just proscribed Amlodipine and I appreciate this review. A good overview of the upside and downside of this drug.
Glad you found it helpful. All the best.
Thank you I take both and been getting bad cramps on and off and did not know any of that thank you sir
Massive leg cramps for me at night.
Wow! I was started on 10mg! Even at 5mg it was horrible too though.
Since taking this tablet, I have been having irritating sctrathing throat since last year. I realised when it started I stop taking it. After few weeks the itchy throat stops.
Am on it for a month now and it's still high, but am having back pain,chest pain and sometimes my skips
Well explained.
Thanks

Is it okay to drink a bottle or two of beers while taking amlodipine? Thanks
Is it okay to take amlodipine bid? How does "the 24hrs dosing" after bid regime with this med?
Can u do one on lasortan
The best way I found to use Amlodipine is to put the unopened box above my cupboard and look at it every morning. It works and saves money for the national health service (here in France the Sécu, the Sécurité Sociale).
My doctor up my dosage to 10 mg, since then have been having problem with a lot of salva in my mouth.I told him that l believe l am having side effect from the increase dose,but he doesn’t think so.
Not a fan of Amlodipine. Made me feel like crap and caused weird pains all over my body. Over a year off it and couldn't be happier!
I hear you. Hopefully your doctor found a suitable alternative for you. Thanks for checking the video out and sharing your experience.
I have chest and back pain. Pain in left arm. Anxiety and sleeplessness, I have newly diagnosed HBP but the side effects of amlodipine and hct are just too much
I’m on Amlodipine and it’s starting to cause insomnia! I’m on 5mg should I cut in half to see if that helps?
5mg is still relatively low, but if if is causing problems, then double check with your provider to see if he will approve you reducing the dose. I have seen 2.5 mg used in some cases, but you doctor will be the best judge of the situation. All the best.
I had DVT in my left leg last your July. I had stopped my blood thinner but my leg is still swollen, can it be because of Amlodipine. Thank you
Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't rule it out. See what your doctor thinks about that because swelling due to Amlodipine is relatively common. All the best.
@@HealthRX thank you
Should I worry if my eyesight gets a little blurry after taking Amlopine 5mg?
It relaxes the blood vessels so blood can pump easier. When there is resistance your heart has to work harder, so more force on your veins and heart.
Just ring your optician she might say its normal or might ask you to come in for a check up to make sure there is nothing serious going on.
Sorry, my English is bad. I have a consultation, a day ago the doctor increased the dose of amlodipine from 5mg to 10mg. The problem is that I have 5mg pills and I want to know if I have to take 2 pills a day at the same time or 1 5mg pill every 12 hours.
Usually if your prescription says once daily, it means you take 10 mg at the same time. In that situation, two 5mg tabs at the same time will be the way to go. This is general in nature, so please check with your doctor what he wants specifically for you.
I had constant edema in my feet. Had to come off it
Sorry to hear that. I hope you and your doctor found something that works for you. All the best.
Experiencing the same.
Hello Mr Pharmacist... can l ask a question please. I recently been taking Naproxen for back pain. I didn't see my gp as l already had some at home. I took them every day for about a fortnight. Now l have low right side discomfort in my abdomen and my stool is looking yellow, could l have caused myself damage?
I would recommend you check with your GP. For all you know, it may be totally unrelated. All the best.
@@HealthRX thanks so much!!
Bad news ' -makes the willy go limp- fact doctors never ever admit......
Definitely causes a decrease in Libido.
It gave me jerks and throws me to the ground. Now I have head energy
Sorry to hear that. I think you should report this to your doctor if you have not already done so.
Very low volume, hard to hear it at afull volume. Talks too fast.
Does the drug CURE hypertension ? If the drug doesn't cure hypertension why is it being prescribed ? Does the drug have long term side effects ? If the drug has long term side effects but doesn't cure hypertension why is it being prescribed ??
Doctor told me they don’t cure you, only treat symptoms. 😢
