A few years ago, in Chibougamau, I had swelling in my ankles, and my doctor at the time had modified my medication and it solved the problem. Here are the drugs I take: Apo tamsulosin .4Mg/Apo rosuvastatin 40Mg/ Teva propanolol 10Mg/Auro Metformon 500Mg/Jamp Asa 80Mg/Auro finasteride 5Mg/Apo Amlodipine5Mg/Sandoz Valsartan160-12.5Mg/

Hello, yes, it is possible that medication is the cause of the swelling. There are of course many possible causes of swelling in the legs and it is always best to talk to your doctor. I don't have a complete list of your diagnoses and medical conditions. In your current medications, amlodipine is often associated with leg swelling. In this case, the dose should be decreased or the treatment stopped. It is important to discuss this with a health care professional who is managing your medication before making any changes, as I said swelling can have many possible causes, including medication. I hope this answers your question.
