How to treat ankle edema as a side effect of amlodipine plus if the hypertensive pt.had been changed frm ace inhibitor to a calcium channel blocker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle edema: You could go back on the ace inhibitor, or try another medicine, but the ankle edema is a side effect of the amlodipine. It may also be seen with other calcium channel blockers.
