Norvasc

Norvasc is a medication whose active ingredient is amlodipine, used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps blood flow more smoothly and reduces the heart's workload. This can lower blood pressure and decrease the frequency and severity of angina episodes. Norvasc is typically taken once daily and may be prescribed alone or with other medications. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and report any side effects, such as swelling or dizziness, while using this medication.
