Overview

Norvasc 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Amlodipine 5mg (as amlodipine besylate) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Norvasc 5mg once daily, at approximately the same time each day, with or without food, and swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not stop taking this medicine or change your dose without consulting your doctor, even if your blood pressure appears well controlled, as ongoing daily use is needed to maintain its effect.

Dosage

The usual starting dose for adults is 5mg once daily, which your doctor may increase to a maximum of 10mg once daily if blood pressure is not adequately controlled, depending on response and tolerability. Lower starting doses may be used in elderly patients or those with liver impairment, and dose adjustments should only be made by your prescribing doctor.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep out of reach of children. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Swelling of the ankles or feet
  • Fatigue
  • Flushing (warmth or redness in face/skin)
  • Nausea

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to amlodipine or other dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
  • Severe hypotension (very low blood pressure)
  • Severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve)
  • Cardiogenic shock or haemodynamically unstable heart failure
  • Unstable angina, other than vasospastic angina, where amlodipine may still be used under specialist guidance

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Grapefruit juice can increase amlodipine blood levels in some individuals and is best avoided or limited
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as certain antifungals (ketoconazole) or antivirals, may increase amlodipine levels and the risk of side effects
  • Simvastatin doses above a certain limit should be avoided when combined with amlodipine due to an increased risk of muscle-related side effects
  • Other blood pressure medicines may have an additive blood-pressure-lowering effect, increasing the risk of hypotension
  • NSAIDs taken regularly may reduce the blood-pressure-lowering effect of amlodipine

Quick Tips

  • Take Norvasc at the same time each day to maintain steady blood pressure control
  • Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as hypertension often has no symptoms
  • Report new or worsening ankle swelling, palpitations, or dizziness to your doctor
  • Limit or avoid grapefruit juice while on treatment
  • Attend follow-up appointments so your doctor can monitor your blood pressure response and adjust treatment if needed

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Amlodipine besylate (equivalent to amlodipine 5mg) — dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker
  • Standard tablet excipients
  • Amlodipine 5mg (as amlodipine besylate)

Relevant Information

Norvasc 5mg is often the starting point for calcium channel blocker therapy in adults with hypertension or angina, with the dose reviewed and titrated by the prescribing doctor based on response over time. As the original brand of amlodipine, it has a long-established safety and efficacy record, but like all antihypertensives it requires consistent daily use and periodic medical review rather than occasional or as-needed dosing.
