Ash and Amlodipine, Celecoxib

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Amlodipine, Celecoxib

Amlodipine, Celecoxib falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Ash interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use of ash seed with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects. Animal research shows that ash seed extract can decrease blood pressure. This effect has not been evaluated in humans. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking antihypertensive drugs.
Some antihypertensive drugs include nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan), diltiazem (Cardizem), isradipine (DynaCirc), felodipine (Plendil), amlodipine (Norvasc), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Consensi is a combo pill containing amlodipine (a blood pressure medicine) and celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory for arthritis pain). The concern here is with the amlodipine part. Ash seed has shown a mild blood-pressure-lowering effect in animal studies, so in theory it could add to what amlodipine is already doing and push your numbers down too far.

If that happened, you might notice dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint when you stand up, or more swelling in your ankles. That said, this is based only on lab and animal research, not people, so it's a theoretical caution rather than a proven problem. I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but if you want to try ash, check with your pharmacist or doctor first and keep an eye on your blood pressure.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Amlodipine, Celecoxib page

“Grapefruit is the risk I would want a Consensi patient to grasp first. Consensi pairs amlodipine and celecoxib to treat high blood pressure and arthritis pain, and grapefruit blocks the enzyme that clears amlodipine, raising its levels.”

About Ash

What is Ash?

Ash
  • Joint pain and arthritis
  • Fever
  • Constipation
  • Fluid retention (diuretic)
  • Bladder and urinary complaints
  • Weight management and blood sugar

Ash (Fraxinus excelsior and related species) is a tree whose leaves, bark, and seeds have a long history in folk medicine for arthritis, fever, and fluid retention. Solid human evidence is limited for nearly all of these uses, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medicines.
