Generic Norvasc

Name:

Norvasc

Active Chemical:

Amlodipine  

Prescription:

AMLODIPINE (Norvasc) is applied for treating hypertension and angina pectoris (chest pain). Amlodipine is a calcium blocker and  acts by loosening (dilating) your  blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and diminishing pulse rate, which depresses  the workload on the heart.

Inform your Physician if you have any of the following conditions:

• heart disorders, including coronary failure or aortic stricture;
• biliary disorder;
• low blood pressure;
• an uncommon allergy to amlodipine, other medications, nutrients, dyestuffs, or preservatives;
• expectant or wishing to get pregnant;
• lactating.

Application Method:

• consume amlodipine orally;
• stick to the instructions on the prescription leaflet;
• endeavor to consume your drug at the same time daily.

Dose Skipped or Missed:

It is significant that you recollect consuming your dose daily. If you omit a dose, consume it as soon as you are able to. If you don't recollect until the following day, contact your physician or healthcare professional for details.

Side-effects can be noticed while taking Amlodipine:

If you feel the side effects, mentioned below, you shall apprize your physician as soon as possible: 

• conking spells, giddiness, or dizziness;
• atypical pulsation, angina, quiverings;
• puffiness of legs or ankles.

  If you feel the side effects, mentioned below, you shall contact your physician but they are not so harmful: 

• sleepiness;
• facial blushing;
• head ache;
• sickness, vomiting;
• abdomen pain or gas;
• asthenia or fatigue.

Pay much attention while consuming Amlodipine:

You may feel dormant or airheaded. Do not drive, apply machinery, or do anything that demands brain watchfulness until you know how amlodipine influences you. To cut down the risk of airheaded or conking spells, do not sit or stand up rapidly.

Avoid alcoholic beverages; they can make you more dormant, and multiply buffing and speedy pulsations. Consume amlodipine at bedtime to lessen the effects of sleepiness and giddiness, but be careful if you have to arise during the nighttime. Sleepiness and giddiness are more expected to occur after the first dose, after an addition in dose, or during hot weather or exercise.

Call on your physician or doctor for regular checks on your advance. Check your blood pressure on a regular basis. Enquire your physician or doctor what your blood pressure should be, and when you should get in touch with him or her. You must not get desiccated, enquire your physician or doctor how much water you need to drink a day. Don't abruptly finish taking amlodipine except on your prescriber's advice.
