Hi,

Yes, Novars can cause dizziness. Novars (amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. In addition to dizziness, it can also cause increased heartbeats, constipation, swelling of the feet and flushing.

.Concor (bisoprolol) is a cardioselective ('heart selective') beta-adrenergic blocker which is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia).

Its common side effects include fatigue, myalgia, cold extremities and less likely to cause dizziness hence your doctor has substituted in place of novars. So, start taking concor as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
