What To Avoid When Taking Amlodipine | Foods, Medications, Natural Supplements
Amlodipine (also known as Norvasc) is a calcium channel blocker used to reduce blood pressure and used to treat anginal chest pain. Amlodipine is metabolized in the liver by cytochrome p450 enzymes, including CYP3A4 enzyme, which can be inhibited or activated by certain foods, beverages, medications and natural supplements. In this lesson, we discuss things that should be avoided that can impact metabolism of amlodipine.

I have been taking 10 mg of Amlodipine for 20 years now. Can the green tea I drink with ginseng in it interact with my medication? I also drink lemonade. I have been swelling in my feet and legs for about 4 years now. I also have sciatica now. I am taking some fluid pills for the swelling. I still swell. I have to keep my legs elevated.

I wonder if the grapefruit problem extends to related fruits. Blood orange juice can be processed to include the dividers which have that exact sharp grapefruit burn. I happen to be chugging a blood OJ stockpile which seems to be strongly lowering BP to the point I stopped amlo. BTW when they omit the bitter dividers in blood orange juice it is the most heavenly drink, reminiscent of sweet berries.

Grapefruit alone have 0 effects on blood pressure. Basically the issue is, when both grapefruit and amlodipine is in your system, they eventually get metabolized to get out of the body. But the enzyme that does the metabolism has a better affinity with grapefruit and binds to grapefruit instead and leaves amlodipine in the body and thus elongating the effect of amlodipine which is to lower blood pressure.

A diuretic helps the body eliminate excess fluid, excreted by the kidneys, and is often prescribed in tandem with an antihypertensive med like Amlodipine. The Amlodipine causes your blood vessels to dilate to make blood flow more easily through them to reduce blood pressure. I presently take a diuretic & antihypertensive med, & now will start taking Amlodipine, in addition, to help lower my pressure to optimum levels.
Amlodipine makes me feel like I have been poisoned. Runny nose and sinus congestion too. I cant take it.

This would have been more effective for me if you’d presented these things in two groups: those that increase the enzyme activity and those that decrease. And then a few words about THESE interactions. For example, could I eat grapefruit if I also drank some ginseng tea? And you’re missing a bottom line recommendation of addressing the cause instead of the symptom, allowing you to get off all these so called medications.
I don’t have those in my diet so I don’t need to avoid anything 😂
