Patient
I take Norvasc, Amlodipine is the generic. Generics do not always have anything but the main drug ingredient due to patents on the orginal drug? I have worked with my current Droctor to take it twice a day 12 hours apart. I always had a higher BP reading in AM so I take 5mgs twice a day and if it gets to high I take 7.59mgs and monitor closely. Its working.
