Can I take Amlodipine and Manerix together?

Why this happens

Both drugs work to lower blood pressure, though in different ways. Manerix is an antidepressant that can have a mild blood-pressure-lowering effect, which adds to the effect of amlodipine. Additionally, Manerix may interfere with the liver enzymes that break down amlodipine, potentially leading to higher levels of the drug in your system.

You can usually take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure more closely when starting or changing the dose of either medicine. To avoid dizziness, try to stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. If you feel very dizzy, faint, or notice increased swelling in your legs, contact your doctor.
