Amlodipine Besylate - Generic Norvasc

Amlodipine, a medication classified as a calcium channel blocker, effectively treats high blood pressure and is suitable for both children as young as 6 years old and adults. This pharmaceutical, available under brand names like Amvaz, Katerzia, and Norvasc, acts by relaxing blood vessels, including those supplying blood to the heart. By widening vessels and arteries, amlodipine reduces stress on the heart, aiding in the prevention of angina (chest pain) when taken regularly.
