Precautions:

• Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially heart disease, liver disease, or a history of allergic reactions to medications.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as they may interact with amlodipine.
• Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking amlodipine, as it can increase the levels of the medication in your blood and lead to potentially harmful side effects.
