Amlodipine besylate (Norvasc®) is a medication licensed to treat several conditions, including high blood pressure, certain types of angina, and coronary heart failure. As a calcium channel blocker, it works to relax the blood vessels and improve blood flow by slowing down the rate at which calcium moves into the heart and blood vessel walls. This prescription medication comes in the form of a tablet, and is typically taken once a day. Possible side effects of amlodipine include dizziness, fatigue, and nausea.
