Is it the Norvasc 5mg or the Atacand 16mg?06/25/2007 11:47PM |
Hello, I currently take both of these drugs for my hypertension. This past week my ankles have been swelling but it doesn`t happen until late in the afternoon, I am fine til then. I know Norvasc can cause swelling but can the Atacand do that as well? I try to drink more water and sometimes that helps. Can having the swelling be something to be concerned about? Thanks.
Thank you for your question.
You are right, ankle swelling is a side effect of Norvasc. Atacand is not known to cause this. I would advise you to see your doctor. This is a side effect he/she should be aware of.
