Amlodipine and Simvastatin and their side effects Posted: 05-21-08 03:28am
Can these medication cause side effect
such as memory problem, dizzyness,
tiredness and loss of appetite.
I have been told by my family that I look
and act like I have been drinking a lot.
If these are side effect of the above med
are there other med to try that do not
have these side effects?

I am under a doctor care for the above
conditions; but the medication seems to be
causing side effects that i do not
tolerate well
Amlodipine can cause dizziness and
Simvastatin can cause tiredness and memory
loss as side effects. You didn’t tell me
for how long you've been taking these
medicines and when these symptoms occurred
so I can’t be sure if your symptoms are
due to the medicines you take or to
something else. Anyway, there are many
other medications for high blood pressure
and high cholesterol that you can try.
You SHOULD consult your primary health
provider about your symptoms and other
medical options.
