Detailed Answer:
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Amlodipine is a Calcium channel blocker (CCB). And the related edema is quite common in clinical practice. It usually resolves.
Measures such as limiting the amount of time that you are upright and/or considering use of graduated compression stockings, will be beneficial. Slightly raising the leg end of the coat while sleeping will be helpful.
If these measures are not of much help, other options that you can discuss about with your consultant are switching CCB classes, reducing the dosage, and/or adding a known venodilator such as a nitrate, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, or an angiotensin-receptor blocker to the treatment regimen.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
