Medicines: Swelling in your legs is very likely due to Amlodepine but there may be another contributing factor to your swelling specially in your face .This is Actos (pioglitazone) known for retaining fluid. You need to go back to your doctor to discuss these side effects known to occur in the 2 medicines you are taking.
