Condition Caduet Treats

Caduet is a combination of amlodipine and atorvastatin. Both medications are individually used to treat several conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. Amlodipine is used for the treatment of hypertension. Hypertension or high blood pressure is defined by multiple blood pressure readings over 140/90 mm Hg. It is also indicated for use in treatment of coronary artery disease and chronic stable angina. Coronary artery disease is caused when arteries that supply blood to the heart become clogged with fatty deposits called plaque.

It can reduce blood flow to the heart and cause chest pain called angina. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood flow to the heart. Atorvastatin is used to prevent incidence of cardiovascular disease in people who are at risk. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease include diabetes, smoking, hypertension. The medication reduces risk of angina, myocardial infarction and stroke. It also reduces the risk associated with revascularization procedures.

Atorvastatin is also used in the treatment of familial and non familial hypercholesterolemia. It reduces the levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and at the same time increases the levels of HDL cholesterol. The medicine is also used for the treatment of primary dysbetalipoproteinemia. Together they work to stabilize blood pressure, counter several cardiovascular problems and even out cholesterol levels.
