Hello,
Amlodipine does not seem to cause hair loss so it is unlikely you are having hair loss from amlodipine use.
I would recommend you to talk with a specialist for hair loss and have a good examination to determine the cause of it and have the proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
