Norvasc® is a prescription medication licensed to treat high blood pressure, angina, and coronary artery disease. The drug helps slow down the rate at which calcium moves into your heart and into the blood vessel walls. This, in turn, helps to relax the vessels, which allows better blood flow and causes lower blood pressure. It also makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. Norvasc comes in the form of a tablet that is taken by mouth, usually once a day. Possible side effects of this drug include heart palpitations, water retention, and dizziness.
