Amlodipine and atorvastatin, which treat high blood pressure associated with high cholesterol levels. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works by relaxing blood vessels, which makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides, and raises "good" cholesterol (HDL). Together they reduce the risk of heart disease.
