HI Thanks for posting your query.  Clear is a better medicine when compared to Amlodipine but its efficacy in reducing your Microproteinuria (Microalbuminuria is a better term) is doubtful. There are other antihypertensive medications which are very effective in reducing your Microproteinuria. These medications come under the class of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers.  Kindly ask your doctor for a prescription of this.  Elevated Serum Creatinine levels and elevated Serum Potassium levels are contra-indications for the above-mentioned Chat Doctor.  Kindly ask your doctor to test these before starting medications.
