I had very high blood pressure and was on Trandate and then Natrilix was added which caused my BP to fall but also caused dizziness. After afew trials with these drugs I took only Natrix and it keeps my BP very stable. May not work for everyone but suggest to your GP to maybe give it a try.

I have taken Zanidip 20mg for 18 months to reduce High Blood pressure. Shortly after commencing this drug I had severe itch on legs and arms which worsened at night , scratching till I bled often happened in my sleep - swollen feet and ankles - with Gout-like pain and swelling of toe joints.
After visiting a new Cardiologist it was suggested that Zanidip was the cause - I ceased Zanidip and now after 3 weeks the itch is abating - the swelling has gone totally.
I also suspect this drug of increasing the number of skin cancers on my lower legs which have been appearing in alarming numbers-necessitating surgery and skingraft., These incidences also appear to have lessened.
Thank you

I was getting severe side-effects when taking amlodipine (swollen feet, rash on legs) so my doctor switched me to zanidip which was a great improvement. Last time I went to the pharmacy I bought generic lercanidipine instead of zanidip and now have the same bad side-effects. I thought generic drugs were meant to be exactly the same as the brand name drug but apparently not.

Started taking Zanidip 4 weeks ago. My blood pressure had gone up even though I am on 20mg of Lisinopril, and the Doctor said a cocktail of drugs where usually needed to control high blood pressure. Have developed swelling around both ankles, and cant straighten my right arm without considerable pain, ankles and hips painfull as well, will have to go back to the doctors.

Zanidip's active ingredient is Lercanidipine.

The most common side effects of Lercanidipine include:
Ankle swelling, dizziness, headache, faster heart beats, awareness of the beating of the heart, and transient episodic redness of the face and neck.

Very rare side effects include:
Allergic reaction, fainting, swelling of gums, sleepiness, increase in blood test values which show changes in the way the liver is working, fall in blood pressure which can cause dizziness, light-headedness or fainting, increase in the usual number of times one urinates, and chest pain.
