Medicines that manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart conditions.
Atorvastatin is the world's best-selling medicine by prescription volume. It lowers LDL cholesterol by up to 50–60% and reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in people at risk.
Amlodipine is one of the most widely prescribed blood pressure medications in the world. A calcium channel blocker taken once daily, it effectively lowers blood pressure, treats angina, and has a very long half-life that makes missed doses less problematic.
Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor widely used for high blood pressure, heart failure, and to protect the kidneys in diabetic patients. Its most common side effect — a persistent dry cough — affects up to 20% of patients and is the leading reason for switching to an ARB.
