Amlodipine and L-Arginine: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 8 records that name Amlodipine and L-Arginine together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Amlodipine and L-Arginine. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

8 studies naming Amlodipine and L-Arginine.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate for hypertension: a safety evaluation.

Expert opinion on drug safety · 2018 · PMID 29065722

Systematic ReviewHuman subjects

“This new formulation of perindopril arginine protects its ethyl ester, without requiring physical separation from amlodipine in a single tablet, and is less hygroscopic than perindopril erbumine. These and other attributes may make this combination an attractive addition to the antihypertensive armamentarium.”

Elliott et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Rationale for a single-pill combination of perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate.

Journal of the American Society of Hypertension : JASH · 2015 · PMID 25817217

Meta-AnalysisSystematic ReviewHuman subjects

“Short-term trials have demonstrated that the combination of perindopril and amlodipine is safe and effective, with statistically greater lowering of blood pressure than either agent alone and a potential synergistic effect on pedal edema. The single-pill combination of perindopril and amlodipine may be a useful addition to the antihypertensive armamentarium.”

Elliott · From the abstract

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Effectiveness of an amlodipine and perindopril arginine-based strategy for hypertension management in Morocco: a prospective observational study.

The Pan African medical journal · 2025 · PMID 42078104

Observational StudyMulticenter StudyHuman subjects

“Moroccan patients with hypertension treated with a combination of amlodipine and perindopril arginine showed a significant improvement in BP control and a favourable safety profile. This strategy presents a promising approach for managing hypertension in similar populations.”

Khayat et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Use of Perindopril Arginine/Indapamide/Amlodipine in the Management of Hypertension in Two Sub-Saharan African Island Countries of Madagascar and Mauritius.

Advances in therapy · 2022 · PMID 35438448

Observational StudyHuman subjects198 participants

“Triple fixed-dose therapy of perindopril arginine/indapamide/amlodipine continues to show additional blood pressure-lowering capacity even months after initiating the treatment in patients with hypertension in Madagascar and Mauritius. It is also well tolerated by patients with hypertension and assessed as safe to use by physicians.”

Mbanya et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Investigation of a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between perindopril arginine and amlodipine when administered as a single perindopril/amlodipine fixed-dose combination tablet in healthy Chinese male volunteers.

International journal of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics · 2016 · PMID 26365335

Randomized Controlled Trial30 participants

“These results indicate that no drug-drug interaction exists after single-dose oral administration of S05985 (perindopril 5 mg and amlodipine 5 mg) when compared to single-dose administration of each component alone, i.e., perindopril tert-butylamine 4 mg and amlodipine 5 mg, given separately.”

Zheng et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Efficacy and safety of perindopril arginine + amlodipine in hypertension.

Journal of the American Society of Hypertension : JASH · 2015 · PMID 25804495

Multicenter StudyRandomized Controlled Trial

“37%; P < .0001), and a lower incidence of pedal edema and adverse events compared with amlodipine. No deaths or significant differences across groups in early discontinuation, serum potassium, or rates of total or serious adverse events or glomerular filtration, were observed.”

Elliott et al. · From the abstract

Names both Amlodipine and L-Arginine in its title.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Amlodipine, L-Arginine, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
