Norvasc is a premium, original brand of Amlodipine, which belongs to a class of medications known as Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs). It is one of the most widely prescribed medications globally for the management of cardiovascular conditions. By relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels, Norvasc allows blood to flow more easily, thereby reducing the workload on the heart.
This medication is primarily indicated for managing blood pressure and heart-related chest pain. It is used for:
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Lowering high blood pressure to help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Chronic Stable Angina: Reducing the frequency and severity of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Vasospastic Angina (Prinzmetal's Angina): Treating chest pain caused by spasms of the coronary arteries.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Reducing the risk of hospitalization for angina and to decrease the risk of a coronary revascularization procedure.
Amlodipine Besylate (10mg): A long-acting compound that provides consistent blood pressure control over a full 24-hour period with a single dose.
Standard Adult Dose: Usually one 10mg tablet once daily.
Note: Your doctor may start you on a lower dose (5mg) and increase it to 10mg based on your body's response and blood pressure readings.
Timing: It should be taken at the same time every day (morning or evening) to maintain a steady level in your bloodstream.
Consistency: You can take Norvasc with or without food.
Swallow Whole: Take the tablet with a glass of water.
Do Not Skip: Even if you feel well, continue taking the medication. Hypertension often has no visible symptoms, but the damage to organs can still occur if left untreated.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at once.
Grapefruit Juice: Avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice while on Norvasc, as it can increase the concentration of the drug in your blood to unsafe levels.
Dizziness: When first starting or increasing the dose, you may feel dizzy. Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to prevent falls.
Swelling (Edema): A common side effect is mild swelling of the ankles or feet. If this becomes severe or uncomfortable, consult our pharmacist or your doctor.
Pregnancy: Norvasc should only be used during pregnancy if specifically prescribed by a specialist. Inform your doctor if you are planning a pregnancy.
Indicated For: Adults with hypertension or angina. It is often preferred for elderly patients or those who cannot tolerate other classes of blood pressure medication (like ACE inhibitors).
Q: Is Norvasc a "blood thinner"?
A: No. Norvasc is a vasodilator. It relaxes the blood vessels; it does not change the thickness or "clotting" ability of your blood.
Q: How long does it take to work?
A: While it starts working within hours to lower blood pressure, it may take 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use to see the full effect on your blood pressure readings or a reduction in chest pain.
Q: Can I stop taking it once my blood pressure is normal?
A: No. Hypertension is a chronic condition. Norvasc keeps your blood pressure normal while you take it. If you stop, your blood pressure will likely rise again. Always consult your doctor before making changes.
