Question/Comment:
I've been on Caduet for many years,I was always on the 10mg for my cholesterol until I changed Dr's,my old Dr. never ran any blood work on me.My new Dr. ran all sorts of test and he uped my cholesterol to 40mg.I've been having lots of swelling in my right ankle and foot,has anyone else had this problem?.I go back for more blood work on Oct.13th to check my cholesterol.I do like having to take only one pill for high blood pressure and cholesterol not to mention saving on my co-pay.

Answer/Reply:
I also had swelling in my ankles when I was on the 40mg cholesterol. My doctor lowered the dose back to 20mg and most of the swelling went away.

Question/Comment:
I like Caduet because it controls blood pressure and cholesterol. My cholesterol was still high so the doctor just changed the lipitor (cholesterol med) to a higher dose and the blood pressure med stayed the same. So easy...

Question/Comment:
Do lipid tests as requested by your physician. I have been using Lipitor for many, many years and now only do a yearly lipid test. I believe some doctors do not stress the IMPORTANCE of the lipid tests.
