Since taking this drug (about 5 weeks) my blood sugar readings have been rising. Is this a usual side effect?
Can the drug AMLODIPINE BESYLATE 5 mg raise blood sugar testing?

Yes, hypreglycemia (raised blood sugar levels) is a known side effect of amlodipine. If the readings are very high then please see your doctor.
