Blood Pressure Medicines - Norvasc
Norvasc or Amlodipine (as it is also called) is a medication for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is one of the commonest Blood Pressure Medicines worldwide
Blood pressure medicines come in many different varieties. Norvasc works by altering the way that calcium is handled by the cells in blood vessel walls.
Norvasc is also sometimes used in the treatment of angina.
Norvasc works to relax the blood vessel walls by changing their sensitivity to calcium in the blood stream - more relaxed blood vessels leads to lower blood pressure.
Recently Norvasc has been combined with Lipitor in one tablet called Caduet. Caduet is designed to treat blood pressure and high cholesterol at the same time.
Norvasc is generally an easy medication to take but there are a few commonly recogised side effects. About 90 percent of those who take Norvasc get no side effects whatsoever.
