Can I take 2.5mg and Felodipine together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work by widening your blood vessels to lower blood pressure or improve blood flow. When used at the same time, their effects add together, which can lead to an excessive drop in blood pressure.

Use this combination with caution. If your doctor has prescribed both, start with the lowest possible dose of sildenafil. You should get up slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness. If you feel very dizzy or faint, sit or lie down immediately and contact your doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol, as this will make the blood pressure drop even worse.
