Amlodipine is a medicine commonly used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. It can be effective, but like many medicines, it may cause side effects in some people.
Possible side effects can include:
- Swollen ankles or feet
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Flushing or feeling warm
- Tiredness
- Fast heartbeat
Important:
- Do not suddenly stop taking prescribed blood pressure medicine without talking to a doctor, because blood pressure can rise again.
- If someone has severe dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or trouble breathing, they should seek medical help promptly.
If side effects are bothering you, a healthcare professional can help decide whether the dose should change or if another medicine would work better.
