Are Calcium Supplements Advisable While On Amlodipine?
I typed 3 questions re amlodipine besylate just now. 2 weeks ago I had surgery on broken wrist after fall on ice. I never had hi blood pressure before, nor took bp meds. I don t want to continue with a dangerous drug, as I wish to recover n get back to driving soon as possible. How will it react to my taking a calcium supplement also? How can I monitor it ?
