What Is The Difference Between Norvasc And Sofvasc Tablets?

I am 48, I have hyper tension, my doctor advised me to take Norvasc 5 mg tablets, but I was having problem with the use of the medicine, the doctor changed medicine from Norvasc 5mg tablets to sofvasc 5mg (Wilson company ) tablets, both tablets have the same salt i.e. Amolodipine Besylate, please let me know the difference between the two, when they are having the same salt

hello,i have gone through your question.first let me explain our approach to patient's intolerance to a particular medicine.we have entire information of side effects of a given medicine.so when we feel that complaint of patients in not appropriate for side effect known to use. we change salt or brand of medicine ,just to see if it suits.if complaint of intolerance still persists we totally change group of medicine.In your case it is the brand and not actual medicine.so if have problem with another brand too, you may certainly request your doctor to change the group.
my best wishes
