Hi,

I would explain that low blood pressure could be related to Amlodipine. For this reason, I would recommend taking half of the dose (5 mg) of Amlodipine, in order to avoid a further drop in blood pressure values.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
