Hello,

I have seen the details given. Pleas understand Amlodipine does cause swelling in lower limbs (dependent edema) that is a known side effect of that drug. You may use a drug like Lasix (Furosemide) 40 mg once a day early morning which will help in reducing the swelling.

However, if Amlodipine is continued the same issue will occur again. So you may ask your physician if Cilnidipine can be used which has good hypotensive effect but no side effect like causing swelling of lower limbs.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
