In reply to Amlodipen + Nardil bad reaction. How long?, posted by gilmourr on November 3, 2012, at 21:45:55
Hi Gilmourr,
I checked it out and there is indeed an interaction between your MAOI (Nardil) and your Ca2+-Channel Blocker (Amlodipine) Nardil inhibits the metabolism of Amlodipine, thus causing increased blood levels of Amlodipine. And the symptoms you describe go right along with CCB toxicity. If you're gonna stay on the Nardil, you'll have to get your doc to lower the dose of the Amlodipine, or better yet, switch to a different class of antihypertensives - I won't make a recommendation here b/c I don't know your full medical history. But your doc will know. Just be sure to get him or her to understand that there IS documented info on the interaction between your Nardil and your Amlodipine.
And thanks!!! If you hadn't posted this topic, I might never have known that the flushing,etc that I sometimes get is from my amlodipine! I'm seeing my doc next week and things are gonna change :)
