Norvasc 5mg tablets contain amlodipine, which works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. It is used to lower high blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart, helping reduce the frequency of angina attacks.
Regular blood pressure control helps lower the risk of serious cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack. Norvasc may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medicines.
