What is Conjupri?
Conjupri is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Conjupri is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and children at least 6 years old. Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack.
Conjupri may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Warnings
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
Before taking this medicine
You should not take Conjupri if you are allergic to Conjupri or amlodipine.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
liver disease; or
a heart valve problem called aortic stenosis.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether Conjupri will harm an unborn baby. However, having high blood pressure during pregnancy may cause complications such as diabetes or eclampsia (dangerously high blood pressure that can lead to medical problems in both mother and baby). The benefit of treating hypertension may outweigh any risks to the baby.
Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
