Caduet- combination medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol? Is it being prescribed?

by Kendra James, RN on June 22nd, 2008

I saw a commercial for a new combination medicine. Caduet. It is a mix of Norvasc and Lipitor and I wrote about it last year when it first came on the scene. It lowers your blood pressure while lowering your cholesterol. I still have yet to really see this medication prescribed. Here are its benefits…

• 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- with only one co-pay.  Have you tried it? Or do you know someone that has? How did they make out? I would love some feedback.
