The first pill to treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol at the same time has recently received approval in Canada.

It's called "Caduet", and it combines norvasc for lowering hbp and lipitor for lowering cholesterol levels.

A number of studies have shown that managing multiple risk factors may significantly reduce cardiovascular problems in individuals.

8 of 18 Canadians have at least one risk factor... like smoking, being overweight, hbp, or diabetes... And one in ten have three or more.
