Can amlodipine besylate be the cause of my leg cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Amlodipine can deplete nutrients, like coq10 and magneisum, which can cause muscle cramps. Your profile indicates that you are already taking coq10 but it might not be in the form that is best absorbed. Consider changing to ubiquinol. Also consider checking your magnesium level and if low then replete. You should talk to your doctor about other possible causes of leg cramps such circulation issues.
