View approved original text

This medication is used for patients who need to take two components, Amlodipine and Atorvastatin together. Amlodipine helps relieve symptoms of myocardial ischemia due to cardiovascular issues such as hypertension and stable or variant angina, and aids in reducing the risk of angina and procedures related to coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin lowers the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in adults at high risk for coronary artery disease and in diabetic patients, and also reduces the risk of angioplasty and angina. Additionally, it effectively controls cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia, helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Thus, these two drugs are used to improve heart and vascular health and reduce related risks.
