Hello. I think the cause of your leg swelling is due to Amlodipine. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and this particular type of drug is associated with peripheral edema or swelling of legs and ankles. If it is troublesome for you, ask your attending physician if it is possible to shift your current medication to other drugs, like Losartan. Hope this helps.
