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

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Perindopril Arginine, Amlodipine

Perindopril Arginine, Amlodipine falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Coltsfoot interacts with.

Theoretically, excessive doses of coltsfoot may interfere with antihypertensive or cardiovascular therapy.
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

Your Prestalia pairs two blood pressure medicines: perindopril, an ACE inhibitor, and amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker. Together they relax blood vessels and bring your pressure down. The concern here is mostly theoretical and based only on scattered anecdotal reports, so I don't want you to panic. The worry is that large, concentrated doses of coltsfoot might work against your blood pressure goals and make your medicine less effective, so your numbers could creep back up.

Honestly, my bigger concern with coltsfoot is its liver-toxic compounds, which is a good reason to avoid it unless a product is certified free of them. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding it, and keep monitoring your blood pressure at home.

About Coltsfoot

What is Coltsfoot?

Coltsfoot
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Bronchitis and congestion
  • Loosening mucus (expectorant)
  • Asthma symptoms

Coltsfoot is a traditional herb long used to soothe coughs and clear mucus, but solid human evidence for these uses is lacking. More importantly, the raw plant can contain liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, so it carries real safety concerns and is best avoided unless you use a product certified to be free of these compounds.
