What are the common side effects of NorvaSC?
Norvasc® calcium, also known as AMLOPIPIN, is used to treat chest pain associated with hypertension and coronary arteries and allows some patients to tolerate exercises. The side effects of NorvaSC® are peripheral edema, constipation, dizziness, lightness, fatigue and flush. These side effects NorvaSC® are observed more often when taking high doses and in women. Many side effects of Norvasc® decrease or disappear after a short time. The use of this drug should be carefully considered if the patient has either aortic stenosis because it can cause hypotension or liver disease, as NorvaSC® is metabolised in the liver and may emphasize the damaged liver. This is due to the detention of fluids in the peripheral parts of the body, the physiological reaction to the drug drop of small, distal branches of the artery of the legs. Increasing the legs or using compression stockings will sometimes help this side effect. If the condition deteriorates or is unbearable, it may be necessary to reduce the doseNorvaSc®, add another medicine to check swelling or try another calcium blocker.
constipation is a common side effect of many calcium channel blockers, including NorvaSC®. The calcium channel blockers release muscles, including those in the large intestine, preventing the colon and cause constipation. Increasing fiber and water intake should prevent constipation to become a problem when using NorvaSC®.
dizziness and lightness are the worrying side effects of Norvasc®, but both usually disappear when the body adapts to lower blood pressure caused by NorvaSC®. While the body adapts to NorvaSc ®, use care when it gets up from a susceptible or seated position. Gradually stand and, if possible, hold a fixed object. Do not drive or control the machines until you already experience dizzy spells.
Fatigue is a misunderstanding side effect of NorvaSC®. Patients complain about p after starting this drugIt finds physically and mentally tired. Sometimes when the body adapts to a new drug, this side effect may be more tolerable.
occasionally NorvaSc® causes flushing or redness of face, neck or chest, physiological response caused by dilatation of blood vessels. Because NorvaSC® acts as a vasodilator or blood vessel dilator, flushing is common. This cosmetic side effect is an inconvenience rather than a health problem.
