It also assists in the treatment of patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and dysbetalipoproteinemia. For patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease, it helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction. In summary, this medication is used in combination for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and reduction of cardiovascular disease risk.
