Question: Any interactions between lotrel and the herbal extract Hawthorne?
I am wondering if there are any interactions between the prescription drug Lotrel (Amlodipine/benazepril), which is a calcium channel blocker combined with a angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and its potential interactions with the herbal extract Hawthorne. Please cite exact implications and studies showing interactions between these drugs. Other prescription drugs with a similar purpose would be fine compared to Hawthorne also. Just provide all the information you can with resources.

Here is what I found:
"Hawthorn extract may be taken with all prescription medications except digitalis, but people taking medications to lower blood pressure should beware—large amounts of hawthorn may exaggerate the effects of this medication, and cause a significant drop in blood pressure. "
