Norvasc may be given to children aged 6 and above. Your child’s doctor will work out how much amlodipine (Norvasc) is suitable for your child. The dose will be mentioned on your child’s Norvasc prescription. Talk to the pediatrician about special care and precautions while using Norvasc in your child.
