I will try and help you to sort out your problem. It may take me a while to dig into the results. Common Amlodipine Side Effects Amlodipine has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials in which a group of people taking the drug have side effects documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine. Based on the results of these studies, the most common amlodipine side effects include: * Swelling or water retention (edema) -- in up to 10.8 percent of people * Feelings of a rapidly or forcefully beating heart (heart palpitations) -- up to 4.5 percent * Fatigue -- up to 4.5 percent * Dizziness -- up to 3.4 percent * Nausea -- up to 2.9 percent * Flushing (redness of the skin, especially the face) -- up to 2.6 percent * Abdominal pain (stomach pain) -- up to 1.6 percent * Drowsiness -- up to 1.4 percent. There are a number of less common -- but more serious -- side effects with amlodipine that you should report immediately to your healthcare provider. These include, but are not limited to: * Chest pain * Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) * Signs of low blood pressure, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting * Severe swelling and water retention * Rapid weight gain * Depression (see Norvasc and Depression) * Anxiety * High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) * Signs of an allergic reaction, including unexplained rash, hives, itching, unexplained swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. Rare Side Effects of Amlodipine There are other possible amlodipine side effects that can occur. These rare amlodipine side effects occur in less than 1 percent of people. For these side effects, it is difficult to tell whether the side effect is actually caused by the amlodipine medicine or something else. Some of these possible rare side effects include, but are not limited to: * Shakiness (tremor) * Loss of appetite * Difficulty swallowing * Vomiting * Back pain * Hot flashes * Weight gain (see Weight Gain and Norvasc) * Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) * Dry mouth * Insomnia * Vertigo * Diarrhea or constipation * Thirst * Sexual problems Armour® Thyroid (thyroid tablets, USP) for oral use is a natural preparation derived from porcine thyroid glands and has a strong, characteristic odor. (T3 liothyronine is approximately four times as potent as T4 levothyroxine on a microgram for microgram basis.) They provide 38 mcg levothyroxine (T4) and 9 mcg liothyronine (T3) per grain of thyroid. The inactive ingredients are calcium stearate, dextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate and opadry white. Although Armour Thyroid will speed up your metabolism, it is not effective as a weight-loss drug and should not be used for that purpose. Too much Armour Thyroid may cause severe side effects, especially if you are also taking appetite suppressants. Side effects are rare when Armour Thyroid is taken at the correct dosage. However, taking too much medication or increasing the dosage too quickly may lead to overstimulation of the thyroid gland. * Symptoms of overstimulation may include: Changes in appetite, diarrhea, fever, headache, increased heart rate, irritability, nausea, nervousness, sleeplessness, sweating, weight loss Although children treated with Armour Thyroid may initially lose some hair, the hair loss is temporary. If you are elderly, particularly if you suffer from angina (chest pain due to a heart condition), you should take Armour Thyroid at a lower dosage, and your doctor should schedule frequent checkups. Armour Thyroid tends to aggravate symptoms of diabetes and underactive adrenal glands. If you take medication to treat one of these disorders, your dosage of that medication will probably need to be adjusted once you start taking Armour Thyroid. If you take Armour Thyroid with certain other drugs, the effect of either drug could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Armour Thyroid with the following: * Asthma medications such as theophylline * Blood thinners such as warfarin sodium * Cholestyramine * Colestipol * Estrogen preparations (including some birth control pills such as conjugated estrogens) * Insulin * Oral diabetes drugs such as chlorpropamide and glipizide BEFORE TAKING YOUR MEDICINE Do not take Amlodipine Tablets if you: * Have ever had an allergic reaction to Amlodipine Tablets or any of the ingredients in the tablet. An allergic reaction may include a rash, itching, difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue. * Have very low blood pressure such that you feel faint or dizzy. * Are in shock or have cardiogenic shock, poor heart output due to severe heart disease or a heart attack. * Have heart failure due to a heart attack within the last 28 days. * Have narrowing of the heart valve of the aorta (aortic stenosis). * Have unstable angina. (ID: 2646530) Real world drug interactions and effectivenesses of co-using Norvasc, Amlodipine, Armour Thyroid, Levoxyl A real world approach: many drug interactions, side effects, and effectivenesses can not be detected when drugs are approved. They may be found only after the drugs have been used by millions of people and for a long time. Large, long term drug studies are able to discover these real world drug outcomes. 72,069 related reports are studied for females and males at all ages when co-using Norvasc, Amlodipine, Armour Thyroid, Levoxyl: Comparison with the patient's adverse outcomes: Name Count (% of total reports) Blood Pressure Inadequately Controlled 319 (0.44%) Lip Swelling 65 (0.09%) Oropharyngeal Blistering 1 (0.00%) Pneumonia 1,226 (3.16%) Swelling Face 258 (0.36%) Top overall drug interactions, adverse side effects: Name Count (% of total reports) 1 Nausea 3,398 (4.71%) 2 Chest pain 2,707 (3.76%) 3 Drug ineffective 2,655 (3.68%) 4 Myocardial infarction 2,573 (3.57%) 5 Pyrexia 2,463 (3.42%) 6 Condition aggravated 2,443 (3.39%) 7 Fatigue 2,362 (3.28%) 8 Dyspnoea 2,328 (3.23%) 9 Asthenia 2,284 (3.17%) 10 Oedema peripheral 2,232 (3.10%) Top long term (1+ years on drugs) drug interactions, side effects: Name Count (% of total reports) 1 Myocardial infarction 115 (7.47%) 2 Oedema peripheral 92 (5.97%) 3 Hypertension 90 (5.84%) 4 Cerebrovascular accident 84 (5.45%) 5 Dyspnoea 71 (4.61%) 6 Fatigue 68 (4.42%) 7 Chest pain 66 (4.29%) 8 Pneumonia 61 (3.96%) 9 Depression 57 (3.70%) 10 Nausea 57 (3.70%) Overall effectiveness * : not at all somewhat moderate high very high Norvasc 2.94% 16.67% 37.58% 32.35% 10.46% Amlodipine 2.94% 16.67% 37.58% 32.35% 10.46% Armour Thyroid 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Levoxyl 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 100.00%
