Norvasc Side Effects

It is possible that Norvasc side effects may occur, but they are generally mild and do not usually require medical attention. Some of the most common Norvasc side effects seen include water retention, fatigue, and dizziness. There are also rare Norvasc side effects, which affect less than 1 percent of people taking the drug; these rare side effects may include loss of appetite, vomiting, and sexual problems.

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Norvasc:

Dizziness; drowsiness; fatigue; flushing; headache; muscle cramps; nausea; stomach pain; weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Norvasc:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); dark urine; fainting; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; pounding in the chest; severe or persistent dizziness; shortness of breath; swelling of the feet or legs; symptoms of heart attack (eg, chest, jaw, or left arm pain; numbness of an arm or leg; sudden, severe headache or vomiting); tender, bleeding, or swollen gums; worsening angina pain (eg, longer, more often, more severe); yellowing of the eyes or skin.
