Norvasc (almodipine), also commonly known as Amlodipine, is
effective high blood pressure medication. It is part of the
generic drug class known as calcium channel blockers. This drug
acts by relaxing and widening the passage of blood in blood
vessels, thus reducing the heart's workload and increasing the
volume of blood pumped by of the heart. Pharmacists can supply
you with an information leaflet containing more specialized
information about this drug or the website from which you buy
Norvasc can give you further information.
Norvasc Indications: The most common
uses for Norvasc include treating angina, hypertension or high
blood pressure in patients with these existing conditions.
Norvasc Warnings: Special care should be
taken by patients who have a medical history of, or who are
suffering from, the following disorders. Blood pressure
medication should be prescribed only when these disorders have
been ruled out:
• Liver disorder
• Heart problems
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Aortic stenosis
• Low blood pressure
• Coronary artery problems.
You should also make sure that your personal healthcare
specialist is aware of all other health problems you might be
suffering from, as some cases require special treatment, a
modified dose or special monitoring.
It has not yet been established whether Norvasc can be
hazardous to an unborn child's health, so it is advised that
you consult with your personal healthcare specialist if you are
pregnant or planning to conceive soon. Furthermore, it is not
known if the active ingredients in this drug can pass into
breast milk, so it is best to consult your physician before
starting Norvasc (Amlodipine) treatment if you are a nursing
mother. High blood pressure medication should be prescribed in
a significantly lower dosage to patients over the age of 65, as
they have an increased chance of developing side effects. Do
not interrupt your treatment abruptly, as it may cause unwanted
effects.
Norvasc Intake Guidelines
Consult your personal healthcare specialist to obtain a
detailed list of Norvasc intake guidelines. It is strongly
advised that you closely follow these directions. If you have
trouble understanding any of the instructions, please ask your
doctor, pharmacist or a nurse to clarify the guidelines.
Norvasc Dosage
For adult patients, the regular Norvasc dosage is five
milligrams per day as a starting dose, and ten milligrams per
day if this is the only drug used for the treatment of
hypertension. For patients suffering from angina, the starting
dose can be between five and ten milligrams per day. If the
patient has medical history of liver disease, the starting
recommended dosage should be only five milligrams per day. This
dosage is only given as a guideline as blood pressure
medication can vary in dosage from person to person. Consult
with your personal health care specialist to obtain the precise
dosage best suited for you. Never attempt to self medicate, and
do not alter the dosage your doctor gave you, either by
modifying the dose or the time interval between doses.
Norvasc Overdose:
Tests have shown that the most frequent symptoms of Norvasc
(Amlodipine) overdose are an abrupt lowering of blood pressure
and irregular heartbeats. Other symptoms may appear as well, so
if you have reason to believe that you are suffering from an
overdose of Norvasc, immediately contact your personal
healthcare specialist or go to the nearest hospital to seek
emergency medical attention.
Norvasc Missed Dose: You should set up a
regular intake schedule, so that it will be easier to keep
track of your Norvasc timetable and to prevent missing a dose.
However, if you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you
remember, unless it is almost time for another intake. In this
case, skip the missed dose completely and continue with your
regular intake schedule. Never take a double dose unless your
personal health care specialist directly advises you to do
so.
Norvasc Side Effects:
A series of side effects is associated with high blood pressure
medication. Some of the most serious symptoms include, but are
not limited to:
• Allergic reactions (such as hives, rashes, difficulty
breathing, swellings of the lips, tongue or mouth)
• Arrhythmia
• Chest pains
• Severe dizziness and fainting
• Psychosis
• Jaundice or yellowing of the skin or eyes
• Swelling of the legs or ankles
Should you experience any of these side effects from this high
blood pressure medication, please contact your personal
healthcare specialist at once or go to the nearest hospital to
seek medical attention.
Norvasc treatment can also cause other, less severe side
effects. These can include:
• Fatigue
• Body malaise
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Stomach and digestive disorders
• Urinating problems
• Nightmares.
If these symptoms continue over a prolonged period of time or
if they become particularly bothersome, please consult your
personal physician to investigate and establish the causes and
decide upon the further course of action. If you buy Norvasc
online, make sure you inform your doctor that you have done
so.
Norvasc Drug Reactions:
Although no drug reactions have been reported for Norvasc,
there are reasons to believe that additional heart medication
can interfere with your treatment with this drug. It is advised
to let your personal health care specialist know of any drugs
that you are taking or recently finished treatment with, as
your doctor can then modify your daily dosage to make sure
there are no unwanted interactions during your Norvasc
treatment.
