What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking enalapril and felodipine,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to enalapril, felodipine (Plendil), benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), trandolapril (Mavik), or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially antiseizure medications such as phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), and phenobarbital; aspirin or other non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB); diuretics ('water pills'); lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid); other medications for high blood pressure; potassium supplements; ranitidine (Zantac, Zantac 24), and vitamins.

leg pains
My mother had been taking oxprenolol for a long time and was switched to valsartan 2-3 weeks ago. After aboout 10 days she suddenly got very severe pain in one leg, particularly the knee and ankle. After a few nights without sleep, she contacted her doctor who has now switched her to felodipine. Four days later, the leg pain is not decreasing.
I have 2 questions:
How long can the leg pains continue now she has stopped taking valsartan? We assumed the pain would start decreasing as soon as she stopped, but there is no improvement yet. The prescribed painkillers (oral and Ibuleve cream) are not helping, so she has had almost no sleep for over a week and is not coping well.
Joint pains are listed as a side effect of the felodipine. We know that it is in a different category of drug to valsartan (it is a calcium channel blocker), but is it likely to cause the same type of pain (sudden onset knee/ankle pain)? If so, it is going to be difficult to know whether any continuing leg pain is still the effect of the valsartan or due to the felodipine.
