Amlodipine besylate?

Question

I'm taking amlodipine besylate for high blood pressure. I know its a calcium blocker and was just wondering if I could still drink milk and have other dairy products. Thanks

Answer 1

This is a question that only your doctor can answer because he/she knows you best. Don't take any yes or no you get as a response to this question unless it is from your doctor.

Answer 2

yes, it's fine.  however since many drugs cannot be taken with dairy, it is always smart to wait an hour before or 2 hours after taking medicine from dairy or antacids if you are not sure.
