Brief Answer:
No interactions or adverse effects are usually observed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Benicar (olmesartan) and amlodipine are frequently used together and usually there is no problem with that. Amlodipine occasionally has a side effect of swelling of feet but that does not occur in all individuals. Unless that happens, there is no cause for concern.

Let me know if I could help further.
