Overview Of Amlodipine

Amlodipine And Allergies

Allergic reactions to amlodipine are not particularly common. However, they do occur in a small number of individuals. Patients must still be aware of the symptoms of an allergic reaction to this medication. They include itching, rash, significant dizziness, breathing problems, and swelling. Swelling of the throat, tongue, and face is particularly severe. Patients need immediate assistance for all of these warning signs.

In rare cases, patients on this medication will deal with drug-induced angioedema. This is a severe allergic reaction involving significant swelling underneath the skin. Patients who experience it may also display hives, which are raised, red welts on the skin. These welts are often extremely itchy. Individuals will need to consult a doctor immediately if such a reaction develops when they take amlodipine.
