A member asked:
Does developing mild peripheral edema from a ccb increase risk of blood clot in leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is a common side effect, especially with dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine, felodipine, nidedipine, etc. No, this side effect does not increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by my knowledge. This side effect is most often dose related. Take care.
