Hello...
The most common side effect of Amlodepin is Ankle edema. The black spots are rare side effect. Although after withdrawal of this medicine, the side efffect subsides automatically within 2-4 weeks. So do not worry regarding that spots. Cardace given by your doctor is good alternative. But you check BP regularly. May be you need higher doses of Cardace if BP comes high.
Thank You.
