What is Amlodipine-Atorvastatin?

Amlodipine-Atorvastatin is a prescription drug that reduces blood pressure in patients diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension). It is the generic version of Pfizer's higher-priced Caduet. The active ingredients in Amlodipine-Atorvastatin are amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, and atorvastatin, a cholesterol-reducing drug.

Amlodipine and other calcium channel blockers lower blood pressure by reducing the force of the heart's contractions and relaxing the arteries. It does this by interfering with a vital mechanism in the body that causes muscles to contract. This slightly weakens the heart which then “pushes” the blood into the blood vessels with less strength. It also relaxes the muscles that tighten blood vessels. As these muscles relax, the arteries widen and blood pressure goes down.

Atorvastatin belongs to a class of drugs called statins that lower serum cholesterol by reducing the liver's ability to produce cholesterol. They do this by blocking an enzyme – a protein that drives chemical reactions – that is critical in the liver's ability to manufacture cholesterol.

Amlodipine-Atorvastatin is taken as a tablet once daily.

What are the side effects of Amlodipine-Atorvastatin?

Amlodipine-Atorvastatin combines a blood pressure medication (amlodipine) and a cholesterol medication (atorvastatin). Each acts differently in the body and has different side effects.

The most common physical side effects of amlodipine include, but are not limited to, swelling in the feet, ankles, or hands, irregular heartbeat, fast heartbeat, flushing, stomach pain, and nausea. The most serious physical side effect is elevated potassium in the blood which, when severe, can cause a heart attack. Allergic reactions are rare and include swelling.

The most common physical side effects of atorvastatin are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, heartburn, headache, and muscle pain, which could mild or severe.

The most serious side effects of atorvastatin are muscle damage, liver damage, and increased blood sugar (Type 2 diabetes). Muscle damage could be potentially severe and lead to kidney failure. It is not uncommon for a prescribing physician to perform blood tests before and after starting Amlodipine-Atorvastatin. If you are experiencing severe muscle pain, yellowing of the skin, or little or no urination while on Amlodipine-Atorvastatin, contact your physician immediately.

The most common mental or mood changes that result from taking atorvastatin are memory loss and confusion, which can range from mild mental fuzziness to severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. These side effects improve when the medication is stopped. Consult with your prescribing physician if you experience confusion and memory loss while taking Amlodipine-Atorvastatin.

Allergic reactions are very rare. If you notice signs of an allergic reaction to Amlodipine-Atorvastatin, such as facial swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing, get emergency medical help.

This is not a complete list of side effects. If you have any questions about the possible side effects of Amlodipine-Atorvastatin or its active ingredients, consult with your physician.
