This medication is used for patients with hypertension who have difficulty controlling blood pressure with the combined use of telmisartan and amlodipine alone. Additionally, rosuvastatin serves as an adjunct to dietary therapy for patients with hypercholesterolemia, helping to lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, thereby delaying the progression of atherosclerosis and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is particularly effective in reducing the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in high-risk groups such as men over 50 years and women over 60 years. Therefore, this medication improves the condition of patients requiring control over blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
