A UK health warning advises amlodipine users to avoid grapefruit due to potential serious side effects.
The NHS has warned that people taking amlodipine, a common blood pressure medication used by millions in the UK, should avoid grapefruit and its juice, as they can interfere with the drug’s metabolism and increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, flushing, and low blood pressure.
Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and angina by relaxing blood vessels.
It is prescribed when lifestyle changes aren’t enough, with over 30 million prescriptions annually.
Patients should take it once daily as directed and consult healthcare providers about any concerns.
