What is Norvasc?

Norvasc is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain and other conditions caused by coronary heart disease. Norvasc contains amlodipine which is a calcium channel blocker which widens blood vessels to improve blood flow.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Norvasc can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time each day.
• Your chest pain may become worse when you initially take Norvasc or when your dosage is increased. Tell your doctor if your chest pain is ongoing or if it is severe.
• Your blood pressure will need to be checked often while taking this medication.
