I had a cholestrol level of 212, with high blood pressure. After starting on the caduet my cholestrol has dropped to 139. My blood pressure is in normal limits too.

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.
