Amlodipine 5 - Should I Take It

Updated

My blood pressure fluctuates from 140/90 to 150/105. Dr gave me amlodipine 5 mg for 20 days. Should I take it? My blood pressure was 130/90 one week ago.

It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions.

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

Are you on any other medications?
