This contains the active ingredient Amlodipine, which is a calcium channel blocker and it can cause this type of peripheral edema as a side effect in some people that take it.

As to what he can replace it with, or what he can use to treat the edema, I am not sure what's available for you.
How severe is the edema?
Has he consulted his doctor to see what they suggest that he do?
