Taking Amlodipine Besylate, Potassium And Magnesium. Could I Take Coq10 For Blood Pressure?
Question: I take 10mg of Amlodipine Besylate daily. I'm trying to take 500mg of Potassium and 500mg Magnesium daily as well. Could I take 15-30mg of Coq10? Would that be helpful with blood pressure? I take .05 mg of Lorazepam. How many hours should I wait before a glass of red wine?
Dear XXXXXXX
Greetings. The Co-Q will not have an impact on your blood pressure, it may help with your cholesterol profile.
The half life of lorazepam can range from 9 to 24 hours; usually a minimum of 12 hours should ellapse; they can have additive effects since alcohol works on the same receptors as lorazepam (GABA receptors)
