Brief Answer:
advise to replace amlodipin with other drugs.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

As vertigo is common side effect of amlodipine and rosuvastastin.
So I would advise to consult to your treating doctor for replace these drugs with other group of anti hypertensive drugs.
Constipation is common with syndopa.
But for that I would advise to take high fibre diet, like green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Because constipation is common with anti parkinsons medicines.
Hope I answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
