Buy Norvasc (Amlodipine)side effects and overdosage

overview:
Norvasc is a calcium channel blocker used to control high blood pressure or angina (chest pain). High blood pressure reduction helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart to control chest pain (angina).
Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. These medications block the transport of calcium into the smooth muscle cells lining the coronary arteries and other arteries of the body. Since calcium is important in muscle contraction, blocking calcium transport relaxes artery muscles and dilates coronary arteries and other arteries of the body. By relaxing coronary arteries, Norvasc is useful in preventing chest pain (angina) resulting from coronary artery spasm. Relaxing the muscles lining the arteries of the rest of the body lowers the blood pressure, which reduces the burden on the heart as it pumps blood to the body. Reducing heart burden lessens the heart muscle's demand for oxygen, and further helps to prevent angina in patients with coronary artery disease

DIRECTIONS:
Norvasc comes as a tablet to be taken by mouth. It is usually taken once a day, preferably with food. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Amlodipine exactly as directed.

Usual Dosage for High Blood Pressure - The usual starting Amlodipine dose is 5 mg taken once a day. The maximum you should take in a day is 10 mg. A lower 2.5 mg starting dose applies if you have liver disease. Older Adults are usually prescribed a lower starting Amlodipine dose of 2.5 milligrams.

Usual Dosage for Angina - The usual starting Amlodipine dose is 5 to 10 milligrams once daily. The usual starting Amlodipine dose is 5 milligrams. A lower 5 mg starting dose applies if you have liver disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your response to the drug.
