Is It Safe To Take Felodipine Along With Red Super Krill To Treat BP?
My blood pressure was very high and not coming down so dr put me on to Felodipine 5mg per day but it still was high so I put myself on Red Super Krill 1000mg per day and stayed on Felodipine as well. Last visit to dr be was amazing never been so low for years. What do you think?

Hi,
Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Red Super Krill is a type of supplement that contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to have potential benefits for heart health.
It is always recommended to talk to your doctor before taking any new supplements, especially if you are already taking prescription medications. Your doctor can help you determine if it is safe to take Red Super Krill along with Felodipine and monitor your blood pressure and overall health.
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like your blood pressure has improved since taking Felodipine and Red Super Krill. However, it is important to continue to follow your doctor's recommendations and to have regular check-ups to ensure that your blood pressure is well-controlled and that you are not experiencing any adverse effects from the medications or supplements.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
