It has not yet been established whether Norvasc can be hazardous to an unborn child's health, so it is advised that you consult with your personal healthcare specialist if you are pregnant or planning to conceive soon. Furthermore, it is not known if the active ingredients in this drug can pass into breast milk, so it is best to consult your physician before starting Norvasc (Amlodipine) treatment if you are a nursing mother.

Do not interrupt your treatment abruptly, as it may cause unwanted effects.

Norvasc Intake Guidelines

Consult your personal healthcare specialist to obtain a detailed list of Norvasc intake guidelines. It is strongly advised that you closely follow these directions. If you have trouble understanding any of the instructions, please ask your doctor, pharmacist or a nurse to clarify the guidelines.

Norvasc Dosage

For adult patients, the regular Norvasc dosage is five milligrams per day as a starting dose, and ten milligrams per day if this is the only drug used for the treatment of hypertension. For patients suffering from angina, the starting dose can be between five and ten milligrams per day. If the patient has medical history of liver disease, the starting recommended dosage should be only five milligrams per day. This dosage is only given as a guideline as blood pressure medication can vary in dosage from person to person. Consult with your personal health care specialist to obtain the precise dosage best suited for you. Never attempt to self medicate, and do not alter the dosage your doctor gave you, either by modifying the dose or the time interval between doses.

Norvasc Overdose

Tests have shown that the most frequent symptoms of Norvasc (Amlodipine) overdose are an abrupt lowering of blood pressure and irregular heartbeats. Other symptoms may appear as well, so if you have reason to believe that you are suffering from an overdose of Norvasc, immediately contact your personal healthcare specialist or go to the nearest hospital to seek emergency medical attention.

Norvasc Missed Dose

You should set up a regular intake schedule, so that it will be easier to keep track of your Norvasc timetable and to prevent missing a dose. However, if you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for another intake. In this case, skip the missed dose completely and continue with your regular intake schedule. Never take a double dose unless your personal health care specialist directly advises you to do so.
