Gynecomastia

18 months ago I developed gynecomastia of my left breast. I was on several medications but when I switched from amlodipine (5 mgs per day) to lisinopril (5 mgs per day) the gynecomastia resolved within 6 weeks. Has anyone had this side effect from taking amlodipine?

I don’t know how many posters read these posts in this community, and your condition isn’t a common one, so you are unlikely to get responses I feel.

If you were in the UK I would suggest you talk to your dispensing pharmacist; whether you have the same facility in your country I don’t know.
