Can Amlodipine Or Losarten Cause Swollen Ankles And Numbness In The Toes?
Question: For HTN I take Amlodipine, Losarten and Carvidelol. On these for over a year. Last 3 mos. having swollen ankles and numbness in both toes. I also take Rythmol for a. fib. Could one of these be the cause of the swelling and numbness?
Brief Answer:
Amlodipine seems to be the offending agent
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me tell you that amlodipine is known to cause swelling of feet as an adverse effect. Changing over to an alternative should resolve the problem.
I am not certain that I find a connection with the numbness. Talk to your doctor and seek a change from amlodipine and see if that resolves the problem.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
