Some patients have allergic reactions on taking Amtas (Amlodipine) which also has as side-effects rash, itching, swelling of extremities, flushing, just to name a few. So probably you may be developing either an allergic reaction to the medication or one of its side-effects.



Kindly stop the medication and see the physician who prescribed it as as soon as possible.



Best wishes.

Avoid Fish and Fried fish and allergic foods.
