Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The drug purpurex helps to reduce the senile purpera and it has showed excellent results with this medicine.
As such it will not cause any dizziness but asthma itself can cause dizziness in some patients as it decreases the flow of blood to the brain.
Drug interaction between purpurex and amlodepine is yet to study this effect.
Thank you.
