Ciplavasc

I am a 67 year old female and I have been prescribed Ciplavasc5. I have been diagnosed with COPD and am on Oxygen. Since taking Ciplavasc I have been suffering with swollen feet. Can this medication be the cause of this. I also take various pumps to open my lungs. I also take a water pill and 2 Ciplavasc 5 and 1 cardiovascular Disprin. The swelling occurs if I have been on my feet for a while. It is also very painful. Please advise. Thank you

Hello, Joan! How are you?

Yes, Ciplavasc contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and as reported by the FDA, it has been known to cause peripheral edema in some people that take it, as well other side effects, such as headache, nausea, dizziness and increased urination.

What dose if your water pill? Normally that should help prevent this.

Have you talked to your doctor? You may need to switch to a different medication.
