Hi
Some medications are known to cause foot swelling.. especially a group of drugs called calcium channel blocker… Cilinidipine belongs to this category. Mild swelling should be acceptable.. swelling infact is a sign that drug is effective in him. But yes swelling is disturbingly more then better to switch to other drugs. Will need to know his renal function status.
