Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
The common side effects of Amlodipine are;
Increased pulse rate, constipation, swelling around the ankle, etc.
If the BP is still high after taking Amlodipine 5 mg once daily, you are advised to visit your treating doctor for possible use of alternate medicine because of high pulse rate or increase in the dosage.
Hope this answers your query.
A feedback is appreciated.
