Possible.: Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) contains two drugs- amlodipine and olmesartan medoxomil. Amlodipine can cause ankle swelling. Please check with your md!

It could: Peripheral edema is a possible adverse effect of Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) use. Talk to your pharmacist and/or physician for more information about this possibility.

Edema and Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan): Azor (amlodipine and olmesartan) (az) has two medicines, amlodipine (a) and olmesartan (o). A is known to cause some fluid swelling which is made less severe by the o. The fact that you know have swelling, after being on az for 3 years without it, may indicate that you have a new problem that is causing your edema. Speak to your physician about it and she if you both can find an answer to your problem. Good luck.
