Quick OverviewNorvasc is used to treat high blood pressurein people with heart failure and other medical conditions.AboutThe drugIs used to treat angina (chest pain) and other types of heart failure-and reduce the risk of ischemic strokes in people with reduced left ventricular ejection fractionon stable coronary arteries in people with left ventricular outflow obstructionin people with stable coronary arteries.It is also used to treat severe heart failure, high blood pressure, or angina.This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor before use; seebefore use.A recent study has revealed that Norvasc, the active ingredient in the prescription drug, was more than two-and-a-half times more effective than a placebo in treating the symptoms of hypertension.
The study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on May 13 in the journal, found that Norvasc reduced the progression of the cardiovascular disease in patients taking the drug.
"There is very little evidence that it is clinically effective in treating hypertension, but there is some evidence that it is more effective at preventing stroke and reducing the cardiovascular risks," said Dr. Steven J. Altman, a cardiovascular medicine expert at New York University Langone Medical Center.
"The fact that the drug is associated with a small but significant benefit in reducing the cardiovascular risks is an important observation," he said. "It is interesting that there was no effect in the short term on the heart."
A study published in April by researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reported the results of the first large, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial that found that patients taking Norvasc had a lower risk of death in the event of cardiovascular death. The drug was used as a primary treatment of hypertension in patients over 80 years of age.
"It was clear that Norvasc was well tolerated in patients and that it was safe in all patients," Dr. Altman said.
The study, published in the journal, also found that patients taking Norvasc were more likely to have a worsening of their high blood pressure, a condition called pulmonary hypertension. This finding was published in the journal on May 15.
A new study published in the journal in June in theJournal of the American Medical Associationreported that the cardiovascular risks of Norvasc, the active ingredient in Norvasc and the treatment of hypertension were similar. Norvasc had been shown to have a slightly increased cardiovascular risk in two large placebo-controlled trials. The trials enrolled more than 6,000 patients over the age of 50 and included patients taking Norvasc at doses of 0.25, 2.5, 5.5 and 10 mg/day for 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/day for 5, 10 and 20 mg/day for 20 mg/day, with the highest dose being 10 mg/day. There was no statistically significant difference in cardiovascular risk in patients taking Norvasc compared to those taking the placebo.
A recent study published in the journal found that patients taking Norvasc had a lower risk of dying from a serious heart ailment. In a separate study, the investigators included 6,400 patients from the California Heart Study and compared their rates of death with those of patients taking Norvasc with those of patients taking a placebo.
A total of 1,096 patients, or 17.5% of the 1,069, were in the Norvasc group. The mean age was 59 years.
The study was the largest in the country, and it was the largest randomized trial that assessed the efficacy of Norvasc in treating hypertension in patients over 80 years of age.
"The results from the current study provide further evidence that Norvasc is a good treatment option for patients with hypertension," Dr.
The researchers said they hope to publish more information about this new study soon.

Norvasc is used to treat high blood pressure in people with hypertension. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of a heart attack, stroke or any other heart-related problem. Lowering high blood pressure reduces the risk of other side effects such as chest pain, migraine headache, fits, heart palpitations, and fainting. Norvasc works by blocking a substance in the body called calcium which acts to increase blood flow. Lowering high blood pressure reduces the risk of other side effects such as heart attack, stroke or any other heart-related problems.
Norvasc belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure (high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys) to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. Lowering high blood pressure reduces the risk of a heart attack, stroke or any other heart-related problem. Lowering high blood pressure reduces the risk of other side effects such as heart palpitations, fainting, and other heart problems.
Take Norvasc as prescribed by your doctor. Norvasc works by blocking a substance in the body (calcium) in the blood vessels. Calcium channel blockers block calcium from entering the cells and arteries of the kidney and brain. Calcium channel blockers also block some other substances from entering the cells and arteries of the brain and lungs. When Calcium Channel Blockers block calcium from entering the cells and arteries, the blood vessels are dilated causing the blood pressure to be reduced.
