This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension who find it difficult to control their blood pressure with a combination of telmisartan and amlodipine, while rosuvastatin helps treat hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia. In particular, rosuvastatin is effective in improving hypercholesterolemia that is difficult to manage through dietary methods, slows the progression of atherosclerosis, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, it protects cardiovascular health by reducing the risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular revascularization procedures in high-risk patients with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. This medication is effective in managing hypertension and dyslipidemia and is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
