Calcium channel blocker-related peripheral edema is common among Ethiopian patients with hypertension and is more likely with higher doses and prolonged daily standing. Clinicians should be aware of its high prevalence to provide effective patient counseling and avoid unnecessary investigations or treatments, such as diuretics.
