Norvasc
Angina Pectoris and high blood pressure treatment
Norvasc (generic name: Amlodipine besylate) 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 to treat high blood pressure. It is a type of drug called a calcium channel blocker. These medications dilate blood vessels and slow the heart to decrease blood pressure and the pain of angina. If you have high blood pressure, you must take Norvasc regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Norvasc; and you must keep taking it even if you are feeling well. Norvasc does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.
