Norvasc, also known by its generic name amlodipine, is a medication classified under the group of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent certain types of chest pain (angina). By relaxing blood vessels, it allows blood to flow more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's workload.

How is this medication used?

Norvasc is taken orally, with or without food, usually once daily as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. For the treatment of high blood pressure, it may take up to two weeks before you get the full benefit of this medication.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include swelling of your legs or ankles, fatigue, nausea, or a flushing sensation. More serious side effects can include a fast, irregular or pounding heartbeat, fainting, or worsening chest pain. If you experience any serious side effects, you should contact your doctor immediately.

What are the potential interactions?

Norvasc can interact with a wide variety of drugs including, but not limited to, simvastatin, other blood pressure medications, and certain drugs that inhibit or induce CYP3A4 enzymes, such as ketoconazole or rifampin. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
