Can I take Amlopidine and Glucosamine together?

Warum das passiert

Glucosamine is an amino sugar that may interfere with insulin sensitivity or blood sugar levels, which can indirectly influence blood pressure control. Some studies also suggest glucosamine might affect certain enzymes in the liver (CYP450) that break down amlodipine, though this effect is generally considered weak.

It is usually fine to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure more closely when starting or changing your dose of glucosamine. If you notice your blood pressure readings are consistently higher than usual, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Schalentierallergie

Many glucosamine supplements are made from the shells of crustaceans. If you have a shellfish allergy, you must check the label for a 'shellfish-free' or vegan version to avoid a potentially severe allergic reaction.

Diabetes

Glucosamine is a type of sugar and may cause your blood glucose levels to rise. If you have diabetes, you should monitor your blood sugar more closely when starting or changing your dose of glucosamine.

Shellfish

Many glucosamine supplements are made from the shells of shellfish. If you have a shellfish allergy, you should check the label carefully or choose a vegan/shellfish-free version to avoid an allergic reaction.
