Norvasc Information
Generic name: Amlodipine besylate
Norvasc is prescribed for angina, a condition characterized
by episodes of crushing chest pain that usually results
from a lack of oxygen in the heart muscle due to clogged
arteries. Norvasc is also prescribed for high blood pressure.
It is a type of medication called a calcium channel blocker.
These drugs dilate blood vessels and slow the heart to
reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina.
