Yes, you can.
Yes you can, but I would not take any medication that has caffeine in it as this can raise your blood pressure.
Amlodipine is an anti-hypertensive medication, and although we have thought aspirin is beneficial in patients with hypertension. It is not recommended anymore unless you have a cardiac history. Aspirin and other types of NSAIDs are known to elevate blood pressure slightly. However, Excedrin migraine contains caffeine which is not recommended in patients with hypertension as it can boost your blood pressure.
Yes you can as soon as your blood pressure is in good control.
Amlodipine (Spelling) is used for the treatment of hypertension. Unless you have allergies to acetaminophen, aspirins or /and caffeine then it can be taken with or after the hypertensive medication.
Hello, when I google ingredients of Excedrin Migraine it says acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine. Amlodipine is a BP med and caffeine (frequent use, high dose) has been shown to cause high blood pressure in some persons. Different persons can have different responses to caffeine. But most likely one dose will not be harmful. Please remind the physician who gives you Rx Amlodipine that you get headaches. Please google Migraine Prevention (Prophylaxis) Treatments since blood pressure pills like Propanolol LA (use LA = long-acting, once-daily formulation since plain propranolol is a 3-4 x /day formulation) & Verapamil ER (ER = extended-release, once-daily) are known to prevent migraines. That way you kill two birds with one stone (address both BP and migraine).
