What is the difference between the white pill and the blue pill with A9? Both are marked Amlodipine tab 5 MG? ## Hello, Maud! How are you? They are just manufactured by different companies, the one with the IG 238 marking is made by InvaGen Pharmaceuticals and the one with the M A9 marking is made by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several different companies, it creates market competition to help keep the prices lower. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, dear doctor, my mum ate converam three days, she had a serious dry cough, shopped two weeks, but she still dry cough heavily, do you think the dry cough is still because of the converam medicine, if it does, could you please advice how to treat it? Your earliest reply will be very appreciated. Kind Regards Hope ## I am not a doctor, but Coveram contains Amlodipine and Perindopril, both of which are used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. And they have been known to cause a cough as a side effect in some people, but it usually goes away, when they switch to a different medication. Learn more Amlodipine details here. Learn more Perindopril details here. Has she consulted a doctor? If she is still coughing, then it is possible that it's not related...

I take amlodipine for high pressure in my esophagus. They said I needed a calcium channel blocker. I haven't even been on this med for a month and my BP has gone up since taking it. Would it hurt to stop it? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? Yes, it could be dangerous to stop abruptly, as reported by the FDA, a sudden withdrawal could cause rebound symptoms that may include dangerously elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, it would be best to see your doctor first, as they should be able to prescribe an alternative medication. How high is your blood pressure? Are you on any other medications?

I have been taking Amlodipine Besylate 10mg tab, and when my son picked up a refill for that script for me, the pills that he picked up was a smaller white pill with 128 on one side and c on the other side. I fear that an error was made in filling my prescription. What is this small pill with 128 on one side and c on the other side? ## Hello, Bob! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Cipla USA and they list it as containing 10mgs of Amlodipine, so you did receive the correct medication. The FDA classifies this medication as a calcium channel blocker and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

I was taking lisinopril 5mg for high blood pressure and had severe stomach and back pain after taking the med for 3 weeks. My MD switched me to amlodipine 5mg and the same side effects after 2 weeks. Since they are both calcium channel blockers, should I ask for a different class of drug to control my blood pressure? ## Hello, Susan! How are you feeling? These are not both calcium channel blockers, Lisinopril is actually an ACE inhibitor. It is also normal to experience side effects for the first 4 to 5 weeks you are taking a new medication, but they are typically transient and go away with time, once your body adjusts. However, if your pain is that severe, then yes, you may need to try yet another class of medications to lower your blood pressure. One option would be to try one of the ...

been on lorsartan 100mg for a long time for high BP also 10mg of amlodipine, my GP said my BP still to high so increased lorsartan to 125mg, this was about 2 months ago, for about 5 weeks been experiencing hot and colds sweats and nausea, any suggestions. ## Hello, Sue! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problems you're experiencing. It's not impossible, but very unusual for a medication to cause side effects after being on it for that long. It's usually just the first 4 to 5 weeks of taking it, or raising the dosage. The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache and increased urination. Have you had this checked out to be sure nothing else is going on? How old are you?

I have been taking amlodipine for about 3 months. I started on 5 mg then 10 mg. Now back to 5 because of swelling of the ankles. I also have stiffness in the muscles and frequent urination at night which the doctor doesn't think it's the pills, although it started at the same time. Would taking them at night instead of morning help? ## Hello, Jo! How are you? Yes, those can be side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and dry cough. However, since it's still continuing this far into taking it, that likely means that these symptoms will not improve and you may need to switch medications. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am a 67 year old female and I have been prescribed Ciplavasc5. I have been diagnosed with COPD and am on Oxygen. Since taking Ciplavasc I have been suffering with swollen feet. Can this medication be the cause of this. I also take various pumps to open my lungs. I also take a water pill and 2 Ciplavasc 5 and 1 cardiovascular Disprin. The swelling occurs if I have been on my feet for a while. It is also very painful. Please advise. Thank you ## Hello, Joan! How are you?

I've been taking amlodipine 10 mg for over 2 years with no real issues and was recently switched to a smaller white tablet made by Cipla and I've been experiencing side effects like headaches, frequent urination and ED. I never had these with the previous manufacturer. Is is possible that the formulation is different enough to cause these issues? At the ER for an unrelated injury last night they gave me a different brand because I was due and my BP was up and some of the effects went away, so it led to me think about this..... ## Hello, Mike! How are you? There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another and, since you've had the advent of new side effects, there's a chance that this new one actually has a little more Aml...

I have been told to check on Amlodipine, 5 mg, if it is time-released. I have been cutting my pill in half to take each half 12 hours apart. Does cutting it in half destroy its effectiveness as a blood pressure medication? ## Hello, Patty! How are you? No, Amlodipine is a regular release medication, so it is safe to cut the tablets.
