Important to know:

When calcium channel blockers like amlodipine are combined with certain antibiotics such as erythromycin (E-Mycin) or clarithromycin (Biaxin) that the result can be a precipitous drop in blood pressure which can leadl to some very dangerous cardiovascular complications

An inexpensive diuretic called chlorthalidone was just as effective as pricier drugs like lisinopril (Prinivil or Zestril) or amlodipine (Norvasc) chlorthalidone NOT AVAILABLE IN ISRAEL SINCE MANY YEARS !!
