with any medicine, there are possible side effects with amlodipine besylate (Norvasc^®); however, not everyone who takes amlodipine will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate amlodipine well. When side effects do occur, in most cases they are minor and either require no treatment or can be easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, possible side effects with amlodipine. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of amlodipine side effects with you.)

Common Amlodipine Side Effects

Amlodipine has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials in which a group of people taking the drug have side effects documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine.

This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.

How to take amlodipine

Always read the manufacturer's information leaflet, if possible before beginning treatment.

Take amlodipine exactly as directed by your doctor.

Swallow amlodipine whole with a glass of water.

Try to take amlodipine at the same times each day to avoid missing any doses.

If you miss a dose of amlodipine take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue taking it at the usual times. Never take two doses at the same time.

Do not stop taking amlodipine without speaking to your doctor first.

Amlodipine is for you. Never give it to others, even if their condition appears to be the same as yours.

Never take more than the prescribed dose. If you suspect that you or someone else has taken an overdose of this preparation contact your doctor or go to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital. Where possible take the container with you, even if it is empty.

There are other possible amlodipine side effects that can occur. These rare amlodipine side effects occur in less than 1 percent of people. For these side effects, it is difficult to tell whether the side effect is actually caused by the amlodipine medicine or something else.
