Amlodipine 5Mg
Are any of you on this BP tablet? ( Amlodipine) or have been on it? My husband's BP was very high last night and today. Got him into GP surgery for check up. It was still high. Unusual for him. He's already on Ramipril 10mg, for a valve repair several years ago, which usually lowers BP. So now he's been given this other one to take too, at different times of day, hoping it will bring it down. He has been feeling slightly dizzy at times. Just wondered what your thought are if any of you take this drug. Thanks.

Am on ramipril 10mg and amlodipine 10mg, one of each per day. Have been on both for a good few years.
I take both at same time. Was advised to take them at same time of day and preferably in the evening as a school of thought said they work best in the evening. However, when in hospital I was given all my meds at same time of morning as new school of thought said it doesn't matter about taking bbp tabs at night.
Might take a while to find correct doseage for hubby, but hope he'll be OK soon xx
