From the Telmisartan and amlodipine label · effective 2023-01-30
CYP3A4 Inhibitors Co-administration of a 180 mg daily dose of diltiazem with 5 mg amlodipine in elderly hypertensive patients resulted in a 60% increase in amlodipine systemic exposure.
However, strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir) may increase the plasma concentrations of amlodipine to a greater extent.
Monitor for symptoms of hypotension and edema when amlodipine is co-administered with CYP3A4 inhibitors.
