Hi.
Nice to hear you wanna confirm it.
The pill you described in the question is a calcium channel blocker named amlodipine in 10 mg strength commonly known by the trade Norvasc. One of the major uses of amlodipine is its use in the management of blood pressure. It is taken usually at night time.
Best of luck.
