hello,
i can understand your concern.
norvasc and sofvasc are brand names of the same generic drug amlodipine which is used for treatment of hypertension.
there is no difference between the two other than having different trade names.
the efficacy would be the same.
donot worry ,you can use which ever brand is available in your area.
hope you are satisfied with our response.
thanks for choosing HCM
