Can Goody S Powder And Amlodipine Be Taken Together?
My Dr has prescribed amlodipine 2.5 for high blood pressure. I am 68 years old and have been taking 1 dose of goody powder daily for arthritic issues for a number of years. Should I wait to start the Amlodipine for 7-10 days so that the aspirin & caffein is out of my system before starting the Amlodipine?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No you can start the amlodipine now. However, the goody powder will make your blood pressure go up (as will the caffeine) so it is better to avoid those if you are trying to control your blood pressure. A no salt diet and weight loss (if needed) are also important in controlling blood pressure.
