Millions of adults over 55 take one of these medications every day, trusting that they're protecting their heart, brain, and kidneys. But what many patients never hear is that these medications work in completely different ways—and their side effects can be very different too.
In this important video, Dr. Eric Bennett, a board-certified cardiologist with over 32 years of clinical experience, breaks down the real-world differences between Amlodipine and Losartan, including the warning signs, hidden risks, and practical tips every patient should know.
You'll learn:
✅ How Amlodipine lowers blood pressure
✅ How Losartan works differently inside the body
✅ Why ankle swelling is so common with Amlodipine
✅ The hidden potassium risk associated with Losartan
✅ Which medication may be better for people with diabetes
✅ The warning signs you should never ignore
✅ Why dizziness can become dangerous after 60
✅ Common over-the-counter medications that can create problems
✅ What to do when illness, dehydration, or stomach viruses strike

Many people are faithfully taking their medication but have never been told what to monitor, what questions to ask, or how to recognize potential side effects early.
This video helps fill that gap with practical education that can help you have better conversations with your healthcare provider.
