What is the drug Norvasc used for?

Norvasc (amlodipine) is generally prescribed to treat high blood pressure in adults and children over the age of five. It may also be given to treat angina (chest pain) and other conditions associated with heart disease.

How long should I take Norvasc?

Treatment with amlodipine is a long-term therapy. It should not be discontinued except under the supervision of a doctor. Stopping treatment can cause blood pressure to rise, and may increase the risk of a heart attack and stroke.

Why does my blood pressure dip at night?

The circadian rhythm determines autonomic variations in blood pressure during the day/night cycle. This usually produces physiological changes like a marked reduction in heart rate, and lower cardiac output. As a consequence of these autonomic variations, blood pressure falls during bed-rest.

Does Norvasc make me sleepy?

Sleepiness is one of the mild side effects of Norvasc. If it persists or gets worse, it should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Other side effects that have been reported are edema in the lower legs, particularly the ankles, shortness of breath, dizziness, fast or irregular heartbeat, flushing, or wheezing.

Is weight gain a side effect of Norvasc?

It has been reported that Amlow can cause weight gain, but this side effect was not commonly reported in clinical trials. If unusual weight changes are observed, it should be discussed with a doctor.

Can amlodipine affect your eyes?

Norvasc can have a number of different effects on the eyes. It can cause damage to the cornea and cause whorl keratopathy. As well, it may cause damage to the retina. If visual changes are noticed, consult with an ophthalmologist or the prescribing physician.

Norvasc / Amlow / Amplodipine (generic name: amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), some types of angina (chest pain) and coronary artery disease (blocked arteries of the heart). By lowering blood pressure, amlodipine reduces the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and the development of kidney problems.

Dosing

Follow the doctor’s and pharmacist’s instructions.

Norvasc can usually be taken at any time of the day or night; however, the prescribing physician may recommend that Norvasc should be taken at night, usually if your blood pressure has been shown to drop sharply while asleep (nocturnal dipping). It is best to take it at approximately the same time every day to get consistent effects.

Missed doses should be taken as soon as possible, but not more than six hours after the scheduled time. If the dose cannot be made up within that time, it should be skipped to avoid double-dosing.

The mild side effects of Norvasc include:

Edema (swelling)
Headache
Fatigue
Palpitations (irregular heart rate)
Dizziness
Nausea
Flushing
Abdominal pain
Sleepiness
Lack of energy and strength (Asthenia)
Itchiness or skin rash
Muscle cramps
Erectile dysfunction

These should normally clear up after a few days, but if they persist or worsen, discuss this with a doctor or pharmacist.

Consult with a doctor at once if you experience a serious side effect such as:

feeling like you are going to faint
swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet
pounding heartbeats or fluttering in the chest
chest pain or heavy feeling
pain spreading to the arm or shoulder
nausea, sweating, and generally ill feeling.

In very rare cases, amlodipine can cause a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Call 911 and get emergency medical help immediately if there are any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Norvasc is prescribed to lower blood pressure in the treatment of hypertension. Reducing blood pressure lowers the risk of cardiovascular events (heart attacks) and strokes.

Chronic kidney disease can be a consequence of hypertension, so Norvasc can slow down the rate of progression of kidney disease.

Norvasc (amlodipine) is generally prescribed to treat high blood pressure in adults and children over the age of five. It may also be given to treat angina (chest pain) and other conditions associated with heart disease.
