Dear SUGANTHI I am glad you reached out to clarify this because it is very important to make sure your medicines and herbs are working safely together Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker commonly used to control high blood pressure Sarpaghandha is a strong natural antihypertensive that calms the nervous system and dialets blood vessels while Ashwagandha works as an adaptagen helping manage stress and gently supporting energy and hormonal balance Taking amlodipine together with sarpagandha is generally considered safe. If your blood pressure is monitored regularly and doesn’t not drop too low, both lowers blood pressure, so there is a possibility of extra lowering if the combination is too strong for your body. If you check your BP regularly and if it stays in the normal range without symptoms like dizziness, fainting, or extreme fatigue or dizziness you can continue this combination, but keep monitoring it
Regarding long-term use sarpagandha can sometimes leads to excessive calmness, lethargy or low mood used continuously for many months in higher doses. Traditionally, it is combined with other supportive herbs to prevent this effect. If you’re not feeling emotionally sad or overly sleepy since starting it that may be a sign to lower the dose or take. It under supervision in a balanced formulation
Ashwagandha is generally safe long-term and does not have harmful interactions with amlodipine In fact, it can be beneficial by reducing stress related BP spikes, and improving your energy levels
The best approach now used to track your BP daily at the same time and also observe how you feel during the day. Note any tiredness, dizziness or emotional changes. If your BP is stable, you can continue these medicine. If your BP is stable or lower then it is better to lower the dose of sarpagandha
