Viatris Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Caduet at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The Viatris Patient Assistance Program helps eligible patients afford Caduet (amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium), a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If you're struggling to pay for your prescription, this program may help you get Caduet at a reduced cost or free of charge.

What is Caduet?

Caduet is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients:

• Amlodipine besylate: A calcium channel blocker that lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels
• Atorvastatin calcium: An HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that reduces cholesterol levels

By combining these two medications, Caduet helps manage both high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) in a single tablet.
