Amlodipine (Norvasc) is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart, reducing the heart’s workload and preventing chest pain episodes. Amlodipine is taken orally in tablet or liquid form and is often used alone or with other medications to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and hospitalization related to heart conditions. Common side effects may include swelling, dizziness, and flushing, but it is generally well tolerated when taken as prescribed.
