What to do

Check your bottle of NRA-Amlodipine 5 mg tablets. The correct tablets are white or off-white and octagonal. If your bottle contains any round tablets, which are not the correct shape, or if you're unsure, return the bottle to your pharmacy for a replacement. If you are unable to get a replacement immediately, continue to take your medication as directed, but do not take the round tablets as these are the wrong medication. Contact your health care professional if you are dizzy, have unusually low blood pressure or slow heartbeats. If you are unable to access a health care professional and you are experiencing these symptoms, call 911.
