Amlodipine: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Amlodipine Besylate is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by coronary artery disease. As a calcium channel blocker (CCB), it works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing the heart to pump more easily and efficiently. By lowering blood pressure, Norvasc helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications.
