Stacy Wiegman answered:Caduet is a combination of two drugs, atorvastatin and amlodipine. Atorvastatin is a member of a group of drugs called statins, which are designed to lower cholesterol by helping to remove low density lipoprotien (LDL , or "bad" cholesterol) from the blood and by limiting the body's ability to make new LDL. Amlodipine belongs to the class of drugs called calcium channel blockers, which treat high blood pressure by expanding blood vessels to allow better flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart and slowing the heart rate to reduce blood pressure.
