Abstract

Adverse effects of amlodipine besylate, a widely used antihypertensive medication, include peripheral edema, flushing, headache, pruritus, and rash. An adverse renal effect attributable to the medication has hitherto not been reported in the literature. We herein report a case of amlodipine besylate induced acute interstitial nephritis.
