HI
Thanks for your query
Telma H is not known to cause pedal edema. Cilacar on the other hand is a variant of CCB and has a small chance of producing edema.
So I would probably stick to the current prescription.
However if there are any problems in the future its best to change medications under the supervision of your treating physician.
Hope this helps
Good luck
