Commonly, when chronic kidney disease patients come to Shijiazhuang kidney
disease hospital, most of them told us they use Amlodipine (Norvasc) to control
high blood sugar before. But is it good for CKD patients use Amlodipine
(Norvasc) to control high blood pressure? Kidney disease experts give you
answer.
For reasons that remain somewhat mysterious to us, amlodipine (Norvasc) is
one of the most popular blood pressure medications in the pharmacy. This calcium
channel blocker lowers blood pressure in part by interfering with the flow of
calcium into artery walls. This helps dilate blood vessels in the heart and
throughout the body.
Possible side effects associated with amlodipine include:
• Swollen ankles
• Fluid retention
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Flushing
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Palpitations
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Skin rash
In order to avoid the side effects of amlodipine (Norvasc), we use Chinese
herbal medicine to control high blood sugar rather than amlodipine (Norvasc).
Here are some obvious advantages of Chinese herbal medicine:
1. Anti-inflammatory. Most of disease or symptoms due to the inflammatory in
our body, once the inflammatory stopped, the symptoms of kidney disease will
also disappear. Chinese herbal medicine has effective effects in
anti-inflammatory, which is helpful forming a good inner environment.
2. Anti-freezing. For high blood patients, the blood is always very ropy.
This is very serious conditions in our body, which is easily to form blood blot.
Chinese herbal medicine can decline this situation obviously.
3. Degradation. Patients used Chinese herbal medicine said the function of
degradation of Chinese herbal medicine is much better than other western
medicines.
4. No side effects. As all the Chinese herbal medicine come from natural, you
needn’t worry about the side effects when you use it lowering your high blood
pressure.
Recently clinic data has showed that Amlodipine (Norvasc) is good for CKD
patients to control high blood pressure, but Chinese herbal can work!
