Caduet Tablets 5mg/10mg – Dual Therapy for Hypertension & Cholesterol Management
**Caduet 5mg/10mg** is a combination prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: **Amlodipine 5mg**, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure, and **Atorvastatin 10mg**, a statin used to lower cholesterol. Together, they help reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications in patients with coexisting hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
Active Ingredients
- Amlodipine 5mg – Lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow
- Atorvastatin 10mg – Reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol
How It Works
Caduet works by addressing two major cardiovascular risk factors: high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Amlodipine reduces vascular resistance and improves blood circulation, while atorvastatin lowers cholesterol levels and slows the buildup of plaque in blood vessels — supporting overall heart health and stroke prevention.
Uses of Caduet
- Treatment of patients with both hypertension and dyslipidemia
- Prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals
- Management of angina (chest pain) and atherosclerosis
Dosage and Administration

Precautions
- Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease
- Avoid grapefruit juice, which can affect atorvastatin levels

- Headache, dizziness, or fatigue
