Norvasc REDUCES the risk of heart attack and stroke
January 1999
There's new evidence that Norvasc REDUCES the risk of heart attack and stroke...in patients with coronary artery disease.
This is especially important because of all the news a few years ago about a HIGHER risk of heart attack with some calcium blockers...mostly SHORT-acting nifedipine.
This sparked a lot of research on LONG-acting calcium blockers...Norvasc (amlodipine), Plendil (felodipine), etc.
