Hi,
Frequent urination is not a common side effect of
amlodipine. However, amlodipine may contribute to increased urination in some people by causing fluid retention, which can lead to increased urine production.
If you suspect that amlodipine is causing your frequent urination, it is important to talk to your doctor before stopping the medication. Suddenly stopping a medication can be dangerous, and your doctor may need to adjust your dose or switch you to a different medication to manage your blood pressure.
In addition, there may be other factors contributing to your frequent urination, such as an
enlarged prostate or other
urinary tract issues. It is important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor and undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
Overall, if you are experiencing frequent urination and suspect that amlodipine may be contributing to your symptoms, it is important to discuss your concerns with your doctor. They can provide you with guidance on how to manage your blood pressure and address your urinary symptoms effectively.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
