Hi!
Well, no amlodipine is not likely to cause cough as a side effect. However, please do not take this drug without consulting your doctor. Dry cough can also e due to acidity and gastric reflux, or due to irritants like smoke, pollution, dust etc. Hence, its best to consult your doctor to find the cause of your cough. If it is related to medicine, then only changing the drug will help. Take care!
