Norvasc

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose of Norvasc, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is found in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.

Can I stop taking Norvasc suddenly?

Patients are advised not to stop taking Norvasc suddenly without consulting their prescriber. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to worsening of the condition being treated. This warning is included in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.

Can I take Norvasc while pregnant or breastfeeding?

The use of Norvasc during pregnancy should be discussed with your prescriber, as the effects on the fetus are not fully known. It is also advised to consult your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding, as it is not clear if amlodipine passes into breast milk. This information is provided in the Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers sections of the label.

How should I store Norvasc?

Norvasc should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children. This storage information is detailed in the Storage section of the label.
