Hi,
Corvadil-A consists of two medicines a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) and a heart-selective beta receptor blocker (atenolol) which is commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure (BP).
Swollen legs appears to be the side effect of amlodipine. Other alternate medicine that can be combined with atenolol is hydrochlorothiazide which is equally effective in controlling the high BP.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
