Amlodipine appears to inhibit craniopharyngioma. Amlodipine is a common calcium channel blocker used for high blood pressure, and is quite inexpensive.

Mercifully, craniopharyngiomas are relatively rare. Some years ago, I had a common type of pituitary tumor, a non-functioning benign adenoma removed through transsphenoidal resection. Craniopharyngiomas seem to be a more nasty and tenacious beast.

I take amlodipine.

I just filled prescriptions for amlodipine, clopidrogel, metroprolol, and losartan.

For those four 90 day prescription the total came to less than five dollars with medicare and my medicare supplementary insurance.

Yoos’ guys just like using big tongue-twisting words to make all the rest of us look confused and inept.

I am taking amlodipine and it is causing edema in my legs and feet. I have put on 8-10 pounds of water weight. The water pills I take only make things worse. I have to get up four times each night to pee.

One GOOD THING about having high blood pressure - you can kill two birds with that drug, which is very cheap!
