Caduet

There are many ways you can work toward lower blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. Diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes can help. But many patients may need medicine to reach their goals.
Do you want to do more?
A clinical study compared two groups of patients with slightly Filagra elevated blood pressure and cholesterol. Both groups treated their conditions with diet and exercise. But one group also included Caduet in their treatment.
48% of those taking Caduet reached both treatment goals in just 4 weeks. Only 2% of those treating with diet and exercise alone reached their goals in the same time.
Not all patients will reach their blood pressure and cholesterol goals. Individual results will vary.
If you want to go for both your goals, ask your doctor if Caduet is right for you. Caduet combines two proven medicines—amlodipine besylate for high blood pressure and atorvastatin calcium for high cholesterol—in one pill to significantly lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Important Safety Information
Caduet is not for everyone. It is not for those with liver problems. And it is not for women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant.
If you take Caduet, tell your doctor if you feel any new muscle pain or weakness. This could be a sign of rare but serious muscle side effects. Tell your doctor about all of the medicines you take. This may help avoid serious drug interactions. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver function before and during treatment and may adjust your dose. If you have any heart problems, be sure to tell your doctor.
The most common side effects are edema, headache, and dizziness. They tend to be mild and often go away.
Caduet Indication
Caduet is a prescription drug that combines two medicines, Norvasc® (amlodipine besylate) and Lipitor® (atorvastatin calcium). Norvasc is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina), or blocked arteries of the heart (coronary artery disease); Lipitor is used along with a low-fat diet to lower the LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood. It can raise the HDL (“good” cholesterol) as well. Lipitor is used to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, certain types of heart surgery, and chest pain in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease such as age, smoking, high blood pressure, low HDL, or family history of early heart disease.
Lipitor can also lower the risk of heart attack or stroke in patients with diabetes and risk factors such as diabetic eye or kidney problems, smoking, or high blood pressure.
Caduet is one of many options for treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol, in addition to diet and exercise, that you and your doctor can consider.
