Question

brand name / names drugs for generic of amlodipine besylate?

Answer 1

Amlodipine besylate is Norvasc, and is one of the two compounds in Caduet, a combniation pill that includes Norvasc (amlodipine besylate) and Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium). The idea behind Caduet is that many people who have high blood pressure also have comorbid high cholesterol. Since each compound helps treat cardiovascular disease by two different pathways, putting both compounds together may have an additive affect on total cardiovascular health. Having a combination pill also simplifies treatment options for patients by taking 1 pill when they used to have to take two.
