Why is this medication prescribed?
Norvasc is a type of medicine called a long-acting
calcium channel blocker (CCB). Norvasc is used to treat high blood
pressure (hypertension) and is also used to treat angina. Angina is
often a pain or pressure in your chest that keeps coming back when
part of your heart does not get enough blood.
How should this medicine be used?
In general, Norvasc is taken once a day, with or without
food. You can take Norvasc with most drinks, including grapefruit
juice. It may be easier to take your dose if you do it at the same
time every day. For example, take it with breakfast, dinner, or at
bedtime.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Some people have
side effects. The most common ones are swelling in the feet or
ankles, headache, feeling tired, or feeling dizzy. You should tell
your healthcare provider if you have any side effects.
What special precautions should I follow?
Women should not breast-feed
while taking Norvasc. It is not known if Norvasc will pass through
breast milk. You also should not start any new drugs or supplements,
unless you check with your healthcare provider first. This means
drugs that are prescribed and those you buy off the shelf.
