may enhance the concentration of serum when combined with simvastatin
may enhance the serum concentration of amlodipine
it may enhance the effects when combined with lofexidine by pharmacodynamic synergism
CYP3A strong enhancers of the small intestine may reduce the the bioavailability of amlodipine
when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased risk of adverse effects
