What is Caduet?
Caduet is a fixed-dose combination drug product developed for targeting multiple conditions that affect heart and blood vessels. It is a kind of polypill that contains two active ingredients Atorvastatin and Amlodipine to reduce the risk of stroke and infarction when treatment is appropriate. Combination of these pharmaceutical agents maximizes the drug’s preventive effect, reduces the pill burden of patients and improves medication compliance.
