On Benicar, Propranonol, And Amlodipine. Have Upper Stomach Pain. Safe?
Question: I am on Benicar, Propranonol, and Amlodipine. Is it safe to take all three and if so could this be the reason I have a severe upper stomach pain?
Hello
I am Dr.Omer and I am here to help you with your query
As you have said that you are taking Benicar(olmesartan), Propranonol, and Amlodipine.
Following are the interactions between these drugs:
------ propranolol + amlodipine
propranolol and amlodipine both increase anti-hypertensive channel blocking ( so more decrease in blood pressure, synergism). Significant - Monitor Closely.
------ olmesartan + propranolol
olmesartan and propranolol both increase serum potassium, hence cause gas in stomach , buring sensation in stomach. Significant - Monitor Closely.
Benicar, Propranonol, and Amlodipine , all are known to cause stomach problems , nausea , bloating and acid reflux .
I would recommend that you need these medicines to control your blood pressure , so by adding stomach coaters like sucrulfate or omeprazole , will solve your problem
Hope this explains your query.
Feel free to ask any further questions.
Take care.
