Ankle swelling is the commonest reason people stop this medicine — tell your doctor, as there are ways to manage it. Tell your doctor if your chest pain becomes more frequent or more severe after starting. Swollen, tender or overgrown gums should be reported; good brushing and regular dental care reduce the risk.

Generally avoided in severe asthma. Not for people with very low blood pressure or with severe narrowing of the aortic valve.

Interactions with other medicines
