Both are used for cardiovascular health but treat different specific conditions. Amlodipine (Cadrex/Cardex 5mg): This is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow to the heart. This form is often found in markets like Nigeria and the Middle East.Atorvastatin (Cadros 5mg): This is a type of medication called a statin, used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It works by blocking an enzyme in the body that produces cholesterol. This form is typically available in other markets, such as India.
