amlodipine 5mg and combizar 50mg can take at the same day? ## HI, Beth! How are you? Yes, they can both be taken and such medications are often combined to help increase their effectiveness at lowering someone's blood pressure, especially if theirs has proven to be resistant to treatment, or if it is extremely high. But you shouldn't take them both, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Learn more Amlodipine details here.

Vamlo contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and yes, it can cause abdominal pain in some people that take it. Aplaket contains the active ingredient Ticlopidine, it's used to help prevent blood clotting, so it doesn't serve the same purpose as the Vamlo. Are you certain that's the one your doctor said to take? What are you taking it to treat? ## Doctor replaces vamlo with aplaket, stating that vamlo can cause abdominal pain. So I thought they serves the same purpose

I found pills in my father's dresser with R164 imprinted on one side, nothing on the other side. The pill is octagonal in shape. There is no score line on the pill. I'd like to find out what the medication is and what it's used for. Sincere thanks for your time. ## I think it is Ran-Amlodipine 10MG

Taking 10mg. Amlodipine per day. Doesn't seem to help.Can I take more? ## Generally, I'd recommend discussing any dose related questions with your doctor, since he/she prescribed you a certain amount for a good reason. However I did come across some prescribing information for this drug, stating that the usual adult dose for hypertension is 5mg orally once a day, as an initial dose; and 5 to 10 mg orally once a day as a maintenance dose. Since you're already taking 10mg, talking to your doctor may still be something you'd want to go ahead and do; to find out if an increase above the "usual adult dose" is appropriate for your condition, and more importantly, safe for you. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Amlodipine Details I hope this helps!
