Hello,
Norvasc contains Amlodipine Besylate 10mg as an active ingredient. So, you have to choose if you will take Norvasc or Amlodipine you are already taking. And yes, that is a blood pressure lowering drug.
Zocor is a type of statin used to treat high cholesterol levels. Not used to treat hypertension, but high cholesterol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
