Combination Medication Caduet Treats Both High Blod Pressure And High Cholesterol

As I was watching the ol’ boob tube, that means television to any not familiar with American slang, and I saw a commercial for a new combination medicine. Caduet. It is a mix of Norvasc and Lipitor. So it lowers your blood pressure while lowering your cholesterol.

The funny thing is, working on a cardiac critical floor I have yet to see the medication prescribed. I expect to see it soon though. It seems like a handy medication…

• CADUET can be taken anytime, day or night, with or without food.

• CADUET offers every dose combination of Norvasc and Lipitor for flexible dosing options (excluding 1 combination: CADUET 2.5 mg/80 mg).
• CADUET is available on many managed care plans nationwide.

It is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone, another favorite American saying. And one of my first thoughts was that there would be only 1 co-pay instead of 2. That is a bonus, huh? Ask your doctor about giving it a try if you are on both Norvasc and Lipitor. I will update you on my clinical experiences with Caduet as I see it in use more. Have you tried it? Or do you know someone that has? How did they make out? Let me know…
