Alcohol and Norvasc

Alcohol and Norvasc: An Overview

According to the prescribing information for
 Norvasc® (amlodipine besylate), alcohol and Norvasc do not appear to interact with one other. This possible interaction was looked at during Norvasc clinical studies. In these studies, people were given either single or multiple doses of Norvasc. In either case, the levels of alcohol in the body, along with how long it remained, did not change.
 
Although alcohol and Norvasc do not appear to be a problem, it is always important to consult your healthcare provider. He or she is in the best position to give recommendations for your particular situation.
