Condition Norvasc Treats
Norvasc has been approved for the treatment of hypertension and heart disease especially coronary artery diseases. The list of coronary artery diseases treated by Norvasc includes conditions like vasospastic angina and exercise-induced angina. This medication is used for treating and preventing stable angina, unstable angina and variant angina.
Norvasc belongs to the class of medications known to be the calcium channel blockers. It helps in slowing down the speed at which calcium is moved into the heart and the blood vessels. Due to this effect of Norvasc, the blood vessels get relaxed and blood circulation becomes normal, which ultimately results in decrease in blood pressure.
Calcium channel blockers are of 2 types: one is dihydropyridine and the other is non-dihydropyridine. Heartbeat can be slowed by non-dihydropyridine calcium blockers; Norvasc belongs to the type called dihydropyridine calcium blocker, which doesn’t have the same function. This indicates that Norvasc has no effect on health problems caused by irregular heartbeat. Norvasc can be prescribed to children above 6 years of age in order to treat hypertension. You may be directed by your doctor to use this medication for treating other conditions as off-label application of Norvasc. Some such conditions that are treated by Norvasc are: cluster headaches, migraines or Raynaud’s syndrome.
