Pricetag 230 baht in my box or 25 if one buys only one strip. Can not remember if with pharmacy member card it was even cheaper, Pharmacy Fascinochain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issangeorge Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Note Amlodipine, may cause your feet to swell. I use to take 5mg of Amlodipine and 5mg of Eneprin (sp) and then for some reason the doctor switched me to 10mg Amodipine no Eneprin all of a sudden my left foot swelled up everyday, I couldn't figure out why, then I remembered that Amlodipine might cause feet to swell, I stopped taking it and my feet haven't swelled since. Now I have to go to the doctor to get an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it down to the heat or occasional flights that a foot massage soon put right. I may have a rethink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would appreciate, if you can PM me with the alternative your doctor described, Many people in my home country use diuretic medication instead of Amlodipine for high bloodpressure. I did that before. It's also good for people with feet/legs that sweel. It will remove some fluid from the legs and feet.

IAMSOBAD Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Anyone try ProArgi9? lowered mine from 160/100 To 118/78 . Cozaar and a diuretic didn't keep it low like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryB1263 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am taking 5mg Amlodipine daily. I hate it. If anyone would have an alternative I would like to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am taking 5mg Amlodipine daily. I hate it. If anyone would have an alternative I would like to hear it. Certainly there are alternative drugs but which one depends on the reason this was prescribed and your overall medical history. Amlodipine is used both for reducing blood pressure and for angina . There are other drugs for both these purposes. I suggest you discuss with the doctor who prescribed this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issangeorge Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I was at the Hospital today to get a new prescription for my blood pressure. I have been taking blood pressure medicine for around 12 years. When my blood pressure climbed to over 150 the doctor put me on medicine. Because my previous medicine was making my feet swell, I haven't taken any for over ten days now, so I expected my BP to be quite high, but it was only 130/90, not too bad. The doctor changed my prescription from 5mg of amlodipine two times a day, to 5mg of anapril once a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi, I also was at the Hospital today, and mentioned the swelling of feet, the doctor changed my dose of Amlodipine from 10mg to 5mg and started me on 1/2 25mg dose of Hydrochlorothiazide (marked as HCTZ(L)(P) on the bag. I notice some of the side affects are Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidemia and I am on medication to prevent both of these, should I be worried? totster :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsjohnsson Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have a bit high bloodpressure and buy Amlodipine 5mg in Bangkok. The Berlin brand can be bought in nearly all pharmacies. I pay 200 baht for 100 tabletts. Beta Blockers are more difficult to get. Only the larger/better pharmacies have those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
