            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to amlodipine or atorvastatin

            Active liver disease, or unexplained elevated transminases

            Cautions

            Symptomatic hypotension is possible with use of amlodipine, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis; because of gradual onset of action, acute hypotension is unlikely

            Use caution in congestive heart failure

            Persistent progressive dermatologic reactions

            Worsening angina and acute myocardial infarction can develop after starting or increasing dose of amlodipine, particularly in patients with severe obstructive coronary artery disease

            Heavy alcohol use, history of liver disease, renal failure

            Adverse reactions associated with atorvastatin therapy reported including anaphylaxis, angioneurotic edema, bullous rashes (including erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis), rhabdomyolysis, myositis, fatigue, tendon rupture, fatal and non-fatal hepatic failure, dizziness, depression, peripheral neuropathy, pancreatitis and interstitial lung disease

            CNS toxicity

            • Brain hemorrhage was seen in a female dog treated with atorvastatin for 3 months at 120 mg/kg/day; brain hemorrhage and optic nerve vacuolation were seen in another female dog that was sacrificed in moribund condition after 11 weeks of escalating doses up to 280 mg/kg/day; the 120 mg/kg dose resulted in a systemic exposure approximately 16 times the human plasma area-under-the-curve (AUC, 0-24 hours) based on the maximum human dose of 80 mg/day
            • No CNS lesions have been observed in mice after chronic treatment for up to 2 years at doses up to 400 mg/kg/day or in rats at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day; these doses were 6 to 11 times (mouse) and 8 to 16 times (rat) the human AUC (0-24) based on the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 80 mg/day
            • CNS vascular lesions, characterized by perivascular hemorrhages, edema, and mononuclear cell infiltration of perivascular spaces, have been observed in dogs treated with other statins; a chemically similar drug in this class produced optic nerve degeneration(Wallerian degeneration of retinogeniculate fibers) in clinically normal dogs in a dose-dependent fashion at a dose that produced plasma drug levels about 30 times higher than the mean drug level in humans taking the highest recommended dose

            Hemorrhagic stroke

            • In a posthoc analysis of the Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels (SPARCL) study where atorvastatin 80 mg vs. placebo was administered in 4,731 subjects without CHD who had a stroke or TIA within preceding 6 months, a higher incidence of hemorrhagic stroke was seen in the atorvastatin 80 mg group compared to placebo
            • The incidence of non-fatal hemorrhagic stroke was significantly higher in the atorvastatin group as compared to the placebo group; some baseline characteristics, including hemorrhagic and lacunar stroke on study entry, were associated with a higher incidence of hemorrhagic stroke in the atorvastatin group

            Endocrine function

            • Increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels reported with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including atorvastatin; statins interfere with cholesterol synthesis and theoretically might blunt adrenal and/or gonadal steroid production
            • Clinical studies have shown that atorvastatin does not reduce basal plasma cortisol concentration or impair adrenal reserve; the effects of statins on male fertility have not been studied in adequate numbers of patients
            • The effects, if any, on pituitary-gonadal axis in premenopausal women are unknown; avoid a statin with drugs that may decrease levels or activity of endogenous steroid hormones such as ketoconazole, spironolactone, and cimetidine

            Liver dysfunction

            • Atorvastatin, and some other lipid-lowering therapies, have been associated with biochemical abnormalities of liver function; persistent elevations in serum transaminases reported in patients who received atorvastatin in clinical trials; upon dose reduction, drug interruption, or discontinuation, transaminase levels returned to or near pretreatment levels without sequelae
            • It is recommended that liver enzyme tests be obtained prior to initiating therapy with atorvastatin and repeated as clinically indicated; there have been rare postmarketing reports of fatal and non-fatal hepatic failure in patients taking statins, including atorvastatin
            • If serious liver injury with clinical symptoms and/or hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice occurs during treatment, promptly interrupt therapy; if an alternate etiology is not found, do not restart therapy; active liver disease or unexplained persistent transaminase elevations are contraindications to this therapy

            Myopathy and rhabdomyolysis

            • Drug may cause myopathy (muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness with creatine kinase (CK) above ten times the upper limit of normal) and rhabdomyolysis (with or without acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria); rare fatalities have occurred as result of rhabdomyolysis with this drug
            • Risk factors for myopathy include age >65, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, renal impairment, concomitant use with certain other drugs, and higher dosage
            • Exposure to drug may be increased by drug interactions due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) and/or transporters (eg, breast cancer resistant protein [BCRP], organic anion-transporting polypeptide [OATP1B1/OATP1B3] and glycoprotein [P-gp]), resulting in an increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis; concomitant use of cyclosporine, gemfibrozil, tipranavir plus ritonavir or glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir with this drug is not recommended
            • Dosage modifications are recommended for patients taking certain anti-viral, azole antifungals, or macrolide antibiotic medications; cases of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis have been reported with atorvastatin co-administered with lipid-modifying doses (>1 gram/day) of niacin, fibrates, colchicine, and ledipasvir plus sofosbuvir; consider if benefit of use of these products outweighs increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis
            • Concomitant intake of large quantities, more than 1.2 liters daily, of grapefruit juice is not recommended in patients taking this medication
            • Discontinue therapy if markedly elevated CK levels occur or myopathy is diagnosed or suspected; muscle symptoms and CK increases may resolve if therapy is discontinued
            • Temporarily discontinue therapy in patients experiencing an acute or serious condition at high risk of developing renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis (eg, sepsis; shock; severe hypovolemia; major surgery; trauma; severe metabolic, endocrine, or electrolyte disorders; or uncontrolled epilepsy)
            • Inform patients of risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis when starting or increasing dosage; instruct patients to promptly report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever

            Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy

            • Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), an autoimmune myopathy, reported with statin use
            • IMNM is characterized by muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy without significant inflammation improvement with immunosuppressive agents, proximal muscle weakness, and elevated serum creatine kinase, which persist despite discontinuation of statin treatment
            • Risk factors for myopathy include age 65 years or greater, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, renal impairment, concomitant use with certain other drugs, and higher drug dosage
            • Treatment with immunosuppressive agents may be required
            • Advice all patients starting therapy or whose dose is being increased, about the risk of myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis
            • Patients should report promptly any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever or if muscle signs and symptoms persist after discontinuing therapy; additional neuromuscular and serologic testing may be necessary
            • Therapy should be discontinued immediately if myopathy is diagnosed or suspected
            • Discontinue therapy if markedly elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels occur or if myopathy diagnosed or suspected
            • Therapy should be temporarily withheld in any patient experiencing an acute or serious condition predisposing to development of renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis, eg, sepsis; hypotension; dehydration; major surgery; trauma; severe metabolic, endocrine, and electrolyte disorders; or uncontrolled epilepsy
            • Consider risk of IMNM carefully prior to initiation of a different statin
            • If therapy is initiated with a different statin, monitor for signs and symptoms of IMNM
            • Additional neuromuscular and serologic testing may be necessary
            • Treatment with immunosuppressive agents may be required
            • Consider risk of IMNM carefully prior to initiation of a different statin
            • If therapy is initiated with a different statin, monitor for signs and symptoms of IMNM

            Drug interaction overview

            • Risk of myopathy increased by coadministration with CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, fibrates, niacin, cyclosporine, macrolides, azole antifungals); therapy should be discontinued if myopathy diagnosed or suspected
            • Coadministration with CYP3A inhibitors (moderate and strong) results in increased systemic exposure to amlodipine and may require dose reduction; monitor for symptoms of hypotension and edema when amlodipine is co-administered with CYP3A inhibitors to determine need for dose adjustment
            • Clarithromycin, itraconazole, HIV and HCV protease inhibitors (saquinavir plus ritonavir, darunavir plus ritonavir, fosamprenavir, fosamprenavir plus ritonavir) may increase risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis; do not exceed 20 mg atorvastatin
            • Amlodipine may increase systemic exposure of cyclosporine or tacrolimus when co-administered; frequent monitoring of trough blood levels of cyclosporine and tacrolimus recommended; adjust dose when appropriate
            • Atorvastatin is a substrate of hepatic transporters; inhibitors of OATP1B1 (e.g., cyclosporine) can increase bioavailability of atorvastatin
            • Concomitant administration of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir or elbasvir and grazoprevir may lead to increased plasma concentrations of atorvastatin and an increased risk of myopathy

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Atorvastatin

            • Owing to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors decrease cholesterol synthesis and possibly the synthesis of other biologically active substances derived from cholesterol, fetal harm may occur when administered to pregnant females; discontinue therapy as soon as pregnancy is recognized; limited published data are insufficient to determine a drug-associated risk of major congenital malformations or miscarriage
            • FDA MedWatch
              • On July 20, 2021, the FDA request to remove the contraindication against HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in pregnant females
              • Despite the changes, most females found to be pregnant should stop therapy

            Amlodipine

            • Limited available data based on postmarketing reports with use in pregnant female are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage
            • There are risks to mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled hypertension in pregnancy
            • Animal data
              • There was no evidence of adverse developmental effects when pregnant rats and rabbits were treated orally with amlodipine maleate during organogenesis at doses approximately 10 and 20-times MRHD; respectively; however for rats, litter size was significantly decreased (by about 50%) and number of intrauterine deaths was significantly increased (about 5-fold); amlodipine has been shown to prolong both gestation period and duration of labor in rats at this dose

            Contraception

            • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment

            Lactation

            There is no available information on effects of drug on breastfed infant or on milk production

            Unknown whether is present in human milk; it has been shown that drugs in this class pass into human milk and atorvastatin is present in rat milk

            Not recommended during treatment

            Atorvastatin

            • FDA MedWatch
              • On July 20, 2021, the FDA request to remove the contraindication against HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in pregnant females
              • Breastfeeding is still not recommended if taking statins; drug may still pass through milk and pose a risk breastfed children
              • For patients with lower risk, temporarily stop statin therapy until breastfeeding ends
              • Patients who are at high risk of heart attack or stroke who require statins after delivery should not breastfeed and should use alternatives such as infant formula

            Amlodipine

            • Limited available data from a published clinical lactation study reports that amlodipine is present in human milk at estimated median relative infant dose of 4.2%; no adverse effects of amlodipine on breastfed infant observed; there is no available information on effects of amlodipine on milk production

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.

            Pharmacology

            Mechanism of Action

            Amlodipine: Ca channel blocker: inhibits extracellular Ca ions across the membranes of myocardial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, without changing serum calcium concentrations, resulting in inhibition of cardiac & vascular smooth muscle contraction, thereby dilating the main coronary and systemic arteries

            Atorvastatin: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, inhibits rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase

            Pharmacogenomics

            SLCO1B1 (OATP1B1) CC genotype significantly increases AUCs of parent drug and metabolites compared with the CT or TT genotypes

            This polymorphism is proposed to reduced transport into the liver, the main site of statin metabolism and elimination, resulting in elevated plasma concentrations

            SLCO1B1 polymorphism is thought to have a lesser effect on the more hydrophilic statins (eg, rosuvastatin, fluvastatin) compared with more those that are more lipophilic (eg, atorvastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin)

            Other genetic polymorphisms of elimination (eg, CYP450, P-glycoprotein) for each individual drug must also be considered to explain variability for statin clearance among patients that exhibit SCLO1B1 polymorphism

            SLCO1B1 CC genotype is most common in Caucasians and Asians (15%)

            Risk of myopathy is 2.6- to 4.3-fold higher if the C allele is present and 16.9-fold higher in CC homozygotes compared with TT homozygotes
