Offering prepaid SIM cards at international airports doesnât seem to have caught on in the US. Iâve flown into several in the country, and donât recall seeing marked kiosks or signage at any of them. Fortunately, T-Mobile stores are quite common in large cities, and even smaller places should have at least one store.
For both hypertension and angina, the usual initial dose is 5 mg amlodipine once daily which may be increased to a maximum dose of 10 mg depending on the individual patient's response.
For patients taking amlodipine and simvastatin 40mg consider: 1  1. reducing simvastatin dose to 20mg - most patients can be managed this way as the interaction with amlodipine leads to an increase in simvastatin exposure that is similar to taking simvastatin 40mg alone. 2. Staying on simvastatin 40mg - discuss the risks and benefits of this 'off-label' option with the patient. atorvastatin (20mg or 40mg daily) is an option if a more potent statin is needed. 4. Change to an alternative calcium channel blocker - do not change therapy in patients who are well controlled with amlodipine.
