Dear Sir/ Madam
Stamlo (amlodipine) has a propensity to cause swelling feet. Although you are taking this drug for one year, still this may happen.Keeping your legs in dependent portion increases this propensity. Other plausible causes can be venous insufficiency/ renal failure/ heart failure/ low albumin. Clinical examination and guided investigations required to sort out the issue.Please see your GP.
