2. Caduet (atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine): This medication combines atorvastatin with amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, to treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
3. Altoprev (atorvastatin): This medication is a slow-release form of atorvastatin, designed to provide a consistent level of the medication in the body over a longer period.
4. Lipitor (atorvastatin): Although Lipitor is a branded medication, it is often available as a generic version, which is equivalent to the original Lipitor medication.

It's essential to note that atorvastatin is also available in combination with other medications, such as ezetimibe (Vytorin) and fenofibrate (Fenofibrate).
