Amlodipine

Amlodipine

generic Norvasc

Amlodipine is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure, either alone or in combination with other medications. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues that can be caused by high blood pressure. Amlodipine belongs to a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Its mechanism of action involves relaxing the blood vessels in order to facilitate smoother blood flow. Additionally, Amlodipine is utilized as a preventative measure against certain types of chest pain known as angina. It aims to enhance your ability to exercise while decreasing the frequency at which angina attacks occur. However, it should not be used during an actual episode of chest pain. Your doctor may provide instructions on using alternative medications like sublingual nitroglycerin for immediate relief when experiencing chest pain. Read More >

Side Effects

Dizziness, lightheadedness, swelling ankles/feet, or flushing may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fast/irregular/pounding heartbeat, fainting. Although this medication is effective in preventing chest pain (angina), some people who already have severe heart disease may rarely develop worsening chest pain or a heart attack after starting this medication or increasing the dose. Get medical help right away if you experience: worsening chest pain, symptoms of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating). A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
