Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Norvasc (Amlodipine) has a rather long half-life and may stay inside the body (although in progressively lower quantities) for more than a week. Its elimination is affected by individual conditions but it's not expected to exceed 12 days at most. Patients with liver disease may be more close to 12 than to 7 days.

I hope my comments were helpful to you.
Please let me know if I can help more.
