Overview
Caduet 10mg/10mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination tablet containing amlodipine 10mg, a calcium channel blocker, and atorvastatin 10mg, a statin, used together for patients who need both blood pressure control and cholesterol-lowering treatment in a single tablet, as determined by your doctor.
Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, lowering blood pressure, while atorvastatin blocks the liver enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol, lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
How it Works
Amlodipine selectively blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, causing vasodilation that lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload. Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the liver’s cholesterol production pathway, which lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing the liver’s clearance of LDL from the bloodstream.
Directions for Use
Take Caduet 10mg/10mg Tablet once daily at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as both blood pressure and cholesterol control require consistent, long-term treatment.
Dosage
Caduet 10mg/10mg Tablet is taken once daily, with the specific strength prescribed based on your individual blood pressure and cholesterol targets. Your doctor will determine the right combination and may adjust it over time based on your response and any monitoring blood tests.
