Can I take Amlodipine and Dooxylamine together?

Why this happens

Both medications can lower blood pressure (amlodipine is a blood pressure treatment, and doxylamine has a side effect of lowering blood pressure). Additionally, doxylamine is a sedating antihistamine that can cause tiredness, which may be more noticeable when your blood pressure is low.

Use caution when combining these medicines. It is best to take doxylamine at bedtime. When moving from a lying or sitting position to standing, do so slowly to avoid dizziness. If you feel very dizzy, faint, or unusually sleepy, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
