Can I take Iu and Amlodipine together?

Why this happens

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs. These can cause the body to hold onto salt and water, which may slightly increase blood pressure, potentially working against the effects of amlodipine.

It is generally safe to take these together for short-term pain relief (a few days). If you need to take ibuprofen for a long time, you should have your blood pressure checked regularly by your doctor or pharmacist.
