Hi welcome to HCM,
The edema may be because of two reasons. one it might be because the anti hypertensive you have been taking is not enough to decrease your HTN and second as a side effect of the drug it self. Kindly consult your doctor before you change your medicines..
Hope this helps you..

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Selomax50/5 contains metoprolol 50 mg and amlodipine 5mg.First of all check your BP whether it is normal.Check your kidney function test done to check for serum creatinine.If all this is normal then,You can stop amlodipine and take plain metoprolol50mg 1 in the morning and half in the night. Because amlodipine can cause peripheral edema.

Wish you good health.
