@doseofjit: Ever wondered why amlodipine can cause swollen ankles? 👀 Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens your arteries. This widening increases pressure in the tiny blood vessels supplying your tissues, which can cause fluid to move into the surrounding tissue, particularly around the ankles and feet 🦶 The result? Ankle swelling (peripheral oedema) a common side effect of amlodipine. If you notice new or troublesome swelling while taking amlodipine, speak to your pharmacist or another healthcare professional for advice. ⚠️ Educational content only.
