| Dose: | You should not take Norvasc if you are allergic to amlodipine. If you have any of these other conditions, your doctor may need to adjust the dose of Norvasc or order special tests: a heart valve problem called aortic stenosis; congestive heart failure; or liver disease. If you are also taking a beta-blocker drug (such as Betapace, Blocadren, Corgard, Coreg, Inderal, InnoPran, Lopressor, Normodyne, Tenoretic, Tenormin, Toprol, Trandate, Zebeta, and others) do not suddenly stop using the beta-blocker without first talking to your doctor.

This medication is for use in adults and children who are at least 6 years old. Norvasc may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide Before taking Norvasc, tell your doctor if you have congestive heart failure or liver disease.

Tell your doctor about all other heart or blood pressure medications you are taking. Your chest pain may become worse when you first start taking Norvasc or when your dose is increased. Call your doctor if your chest pain is severe or ongoing. |
