Hi Flgade,

Vamlo 5 mg is also known as Norvasc or Amlodipine besylate. This medication is a calcium channel blocker and prescribed to treat high blood pressure and sometimes angina (chest pain). I recommend discussing with your physician to determine if you need to continue or discontinue the medication.

All the best,
