What is the therapeutic category of Norvasc?

Cholesterol Blood pressure Asthma Antidepressant

Correct Answer:

Blood pressure

Explanation:

Norvasc is used to treat high blood pressure. It contains amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes vascular smooth muscle, lowering systemic vascular resistance and thus lowering blood pressure. Because its primary purpose is managing blood pressure, the therapeutic category is blood pressure (antihypertensive). It isn’t related to cholesterol-lowering drugs, asthma medications, or antidepressants, which fit those other therapeutic areas.
