When Should I Take 'norvasc' To Control Blood Pressure?
My doctor said I could reduce my norvasc to once a day instead of twice because my blood pressure is down to 104/76 and I have been gradually increasing my running. Should I take it in the morning or at night? I am a 44 year old male. Weight is 225, height is 6 ft. I suffered an unexplained cardiac arrest December 2009 and was put on the norvasc, enalapril and carvedilol following implantation of an AICD.

Norvasc (Amlodipine) may be reduced to once daily in the morning.
As Enalapril and Carvedilol have also their anti-hypertensiv effects, you may continue Enalapril at Night and Carvedilol twice a day (if it is not in sustained release formulation).
