hair has been thinning and some flappy muscles ## Just started to take amlodipine 5mg. I also am on thyroid medication will this medication amiodipine have any side effects with my thyroid medicine? ## It can cause hair loss in some people, though it isn't very common. It isn't known to cause the muscle issue, so if you're experiencing both, I suspect something else may be going on and you should talk to your doctor, so they can look into it. You can learn more Amlodipine details here. As to the question by Parthenia, there are several medications on the market to treat thyroid conditions, granted some are more common than others, but without knowing the specific one that's being taken, there is no way for anyone to check for possible interactions for her.

I consume 1 grapefruit (1/2 grapefruit daily) for a long time and now I am on Amlodipine - can it affect my creatinine count ? ## Hi Donna, nlm.nih.gov notes that, "Coadministration of 240 mL of grapefruit juice with a single oral dose of amlodipine 10 mg in 20 healthy volunteers had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine." However, an article I found on Livestrong.com makes a point of stating that, "If you take amlodipine -- or any other kind of calcium channel blocker -- do not take them with grapefruit, grapefruit juice or grapefruit dietary supplements, because serious, possibly fatal, reactions may occur." "Grapefruit inhibits your CYP34A enzyme, a protein that helps your body metabolize drugs. When your body fails to properly metabolize dru...

Sunlight ## i have been taking amlod/benazp10-20mg capsule daily for over a year.when sumer hits i have bumps come up on back of my elbows where the sun hits.is this common? ## Amlodipine and Benazepril are the active ingredients in Lotrel, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Lotrel details here. And it may make you more sensitive to the sun and heat, so you do need to be careful. You should use a sunscreen and not stay out in the sun any longer than absolutely necessary. What David was describing sounds like it may be a heat rash, due to sun sensitivity, but it should be checked by a doctor to be certain. Are there any questions or comments?

what would be the side effect of S-Amlodipine when i take it for 10 years. ## Virtually all of the medications that are used to treat hypertension and/or cardiac conditions carry possible risks with long-term use. Are regular blood tests being done? That's usually how any problems are found early, so you'll know if you need to try a different medication. Blood tests are done that usually include your a liver and kidney panel. It is rare for it to happen, but these medications may cause some liver or kidney damage. Learn more Amlodipine details here. However, what you also have to remember is, as I said, that risk is very small, so the risk to you is far greater if you would leave such medical conditions run untreated and out of control. How often do you take it?

I have been taking 5-10 amlod benaze capsules for over a year and have had no side effects or any other issue. Recently my doctor changed the dosage to 5-20mg and I have experienced dizziness. Should I revert back to the original dosage? (I believe I got a false reading on my last blood pressure test). ## What are you current blood pressure readings? Learn more Amlodipine details here. Learn more Benazepril details here. At this point, you need to find out if the dizziness is because your blood pressure is going too low, or if it's just a temporary side effect of the medication.
