For a number of years past my sister, now aged 76, has been taking Amlodipine in the form of Amlodipine Meleate manufactured by KRKA Parma. Parma have ceased to manufacture this formulation and she is finding that she has an allergic reaction to Amlodipine in the form of Besilate or other Meleate formulations tried todate..
It has been suggested that she may be in fact simply be allergic to one of the minor componds used in the different formulations and that as such we should try and locate a formulation that EXACTLY matches that previously produced by Parma. I have written to them to see whether they would be prepared to identify the compounds in their previously manufactured formulation and I am awaiting their reply.
However, even if I do obtain this information I am still left with the need to find an exactly matching formulation available in the UK today.
Can anyone advise how I might best go about resolving the above task? Are there any books available to the general public that would show the various precise formulations available?
Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome.
