My mom takes the med amlidopine and her legs swell. The nurse told her to cut back on water to fix this. True?

She is diabetic, has fybromyalgia and post polio syndrome. Has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She also takes Dildiazam, Tiamterine/HCTZ, and a couple of other meds.My mom takes the med amlidopine and her legs swell. The nurse told her to cut back on water to fix this. True?
That's a good first step. However, amlodipine is known to cause leg swelling on its own. She should bring it up to the doctor at her next visit.My mom takes the med amlidopine and her legs swell. The nurse told her to cut back on water to fix this. True?
no offense to the nurse, but ask to talk to the doctor about this. It could be the amlodipine but could also be a lot of other things.
