Husband is on irbesartan and amlodipine besylate and lexapro and just this morning too spiriva inhaler for the first time in several months. Now B/P low 90/42 initially and now 108/58. Drug interactions???? He is experiencing dizziness upon standing which is totally expected however.....I have given him caffeine drinks as we are primarily decaf people. Any suggestions. He is alert, and feeling a bit better with the rise in B/P and caffeine. thank you

Hello,
These two medications that you mention both lower blood pressure (BP) because that is their main function (anti-hypertensives). Suggest you see your GP who might stop one of them.
Kind Regards
