Hi Ray…one of Amlodipine’s primary side effects is swollen feet/ankles…I take 5mg…several yrs ago the doctor upped it to 10mg …immediately my feet swelled…had to go back to 5mg. Always amazes me what doctors don’t know about medicines. I went to my eye doctor a couple years ago with dry, irritated eyes. He put me on a steroid drop and went back about 3 weeks later…he said keep using the drops…I’d read that it should only be used for 2 wks due to glaucoma like pressure increase in eye.
The doctor left the appt and I said to asst, “I thought the drops should only be used for 2 wks due to increased pressure risk”? He left room.. .came back in with pressure tester and sure enough it was high…”stop using it “ he said!
