It can cause hair loss in some people, though it isn't very common.

It isn't known to cause the muscle issue, so if you're experiencing both, I suspect something else may be going on and you should talk to your doctor, so they can look into it.

You can learn more Amlodipine details here.

As to the question by Parthenia, there are several medications on the market to treat thyroid conditions, granted some are more common than others, but without knowing the specific one that's being taken, there is no way for anyone to check for possible interactions for her.

Thus, if you require such information, please post as many details as possible, including the specifics medications you take and someone will gladly check for you.

Are there any questions or comments?
