Amlodipine does not interact with vitamins/minerals. If anything it is HELPFUL TO PREVENT THIN BONES.

It does effect the blood vessels. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing them. THis often causes blood to fall to the feet and produce foot swelling. This is almost never due to kidney failure and almost never more than a bit inconvenient and also it is almost always easily treated by diuretics one of which (HCTZ) slightly helps increase calcium and bone health.
