AMLIP

Also known as Amlodipine Besylate, Amlip is taken by patients complaining of high blood pressure, chest pain or angina. The drug comes in tablet form and should be taken under strict medical guidance since the side effects of overdose lead to fast heart beat and an instant drop in blood pressure. Patients with cardiac and renal failure should take this drug with caution.

I am a patient with BPH, Diabetes Type II and hypertension. I am aged 67 and I am on Galuvasmet50/1000, Amlip 5, Minipress XL2.5, Ecosprin75 and Urimax D. The last one I have been using for the past one year. Can use either sildenafil or Tadalfin tablets? If so how and at what dosage?
