Consensi

Consensi is a combination of amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) and celecoxib (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and the management of osteoarthritis pain in adults who need both medications. Amlodipine helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, while celecoxib reduces pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Consensi Work?

  • Amlodipine works by blocking calcium channels in the smooth muscle of blood vessels, leading to relaxation and dilation of the arteries, which helps lower blood pressure.
  • Celecoxib inhibits COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. This reduces the symptoms of osteoarthritis.


Common Dosages

  • Tablets containing amlodipine 2.5 mg, 5 mg, or 10 mg, each paired with 200 mg of celecoxib.

Typical Dosing

  • The typical dose for Consensi is one tablet once daily, with the strength adjusted based on the patient’s blood pressure and pain management needs.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Treatment of hypertension in adults.
  • Management of osteoarthritis pain in patients who require both treatments.


Who Shouldn't Take Consensi?

  • Hypersensitivity to amlodipine, celecoxib, or other NSAIDs.
  • Severe liver or kidney impairment.
  • History of allergic reactions to sulfonamides or NSAIDs.
  • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery due to increased risk of cardiovascular events.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Consensi once daily, with or without food.
  • Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is required while on this medication.
  • Avoid using other NSAIDs or high-dose aspirin while on Consensi, as it increases the risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects.

  • Aspirin: Taking high-dose aspirin with Consensi can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
