questions about Norvasc.
It does not contain all the available

All medicines have risks and

WHAT NORVASC IS USED
FOR
_WHAT IT DOES _
Norvasc is used to:
•
lower high blood pressure
(hypertension).
There are usually no symptoms of
hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have hypertension
is to have your blood pressure
checked on a regular basis. If high
blood pressure is not treated it can
lead to serious health problems.
•
treat angina pectoris.
Angina is a pain or uncomfortable
feeling in the chest, often spreading
to the arms or neck, and sometimes
to the shoulders and back. The pain
of angina is due to a shortage of
oxygen to the heart.
Norvasc is not for the relief of a
sudden attack of angina. Your doctor
will give you other medication to
treat this.
_HOW IT WORKS _
Norvasc belongs to a group of
medicines called calcium channel
blockers or calcium ion antagonists.
They work by widening your blood
vessels, making it easier for your
heart to pump blood around the body
and help increase the supply of blood
and oxygen to your heart. Calcium
channel blockers do not change the
amount of calcium in your blood or
bones.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY NORVASC HAS
BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have prescribed it
for another reason.
This medicine is available only with
a doctor's prescription.
_USE IN CHILDREN _
There is not enough information to
recommend the use of this medicine
in children.
BEFORE YOU TAKE
NORVASC
_WHEN YOU MUST NOT TAKE IT _
DO NOT TAKE NORVASC IF YOU HAVE AN

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
NORVASC is indicated for the first-line treatment of hypertension and
can be used as the
sole agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients.
Patients not adequately
controlled on a single antihypertensive agent may benefit from the
addition of NORVASC,
which has been used in combination with a thiazide diuretic, beta
adrenoceptor blocking
agent, or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
NORVASC is indicated for the first-line treatment of myocardial
ischaemia, whether due to
fixed obstruction (stable angina) and/or vasospasm/vasoconstriction
(Prinzmetal’s or variant
angina) of coronary vasculature. NORVASC may be used where the
clinical presentation
suggests
a
possible
vasospastic/vasoconstrictive
component
but
where
vasospasm/vasoconstriction has not been confirmed. NORVASC may be used
alone as
monotherapy, or in combination with other antianginal drugs in
patients with angina that is
refractory to nitrates and/or beta-blockers.
4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOSE
For both hypertension and angina, the usual initial dose is 5 mg
NORVASC once-daily which
may be increased to a maximum dose of 10
