Are there other drugs with the same active ingredient or the same effect?

Yes, apart from Norvasc®, many other products from other companies contain the active ingredient amlodipine, including many manufacturers of generic drugs. Apart from amlodipine, there are many other active ingredients that are used to lower blood pressure. These include so-called ACE inhibitors such as ramipril, or AT1 blockers such as valsartan. These two groups of active ingredients can also be used together with Norvasc®.
