CCB: It is correct that amlodipine can cause ankle swelling. How severe is it in your case? There are options: elevation of legs, compression stockings, reducing the dose of amlodipine, switching to or adding other medications like lisinopril/valsartan/diuretic. More history and a physical examination is necessary to help you adjust to this situation. Please consult a physician personally if needed.
