Amlodipine/Atorvastatin Tablets
Amlodipine-atorvastatin tablets combine two medicines in one pill to help control high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure, while atorvastatin reduces cholesterol by blocking its production in the liver. This combination helps protect the heart and blood vessels, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Amlodipine-atorvastatin is a fixed-dose combination of a calcium channel blocker and a statin

Amlodipine/Atorvastatin Tablets Medication Description
Amlodipine-atorvastatin tablets combine two medications to address two major cardiovascular risk factors: high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by relaxing the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls, lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart. Atorvastatin, a statin, decreases cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which helps lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. This combination is particularly useful for patients who need treatment for both conditions, as it simplifies therapy and improves adherence. By controlling blood pressure and cholesterol together, the medication reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications. While effective, it requires ongoing monitoring of blood pressure, lipid levels, and liver function. Patients should also maintain healthy lifestyle habits, as medication alone cannot fully prevent cardiovascular disease. -
Amlodipine/Atorvastatin Tablets Side Effects
Amlodipine-atorvastatin can cause mild side effects such as headache, dizziness, swelling in the ankles, and stomach upset. Atorvastatin may lead to muscle pain or weakness, and rare cases of serious muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) have been reported. Liver problems are uncommon but possible, so regular blood tests are recommended. Seek medical attention if you experience severe muscle pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or allergic reactions such as swelling or difficulty breathing. -
