This medication is used as a combination of Pimasartan and Amlodipine for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled, and for patients who need to manage hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia with Rosuvastatin. Rosuvastatin helps manage hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia that are not controlled by diet and exercise, and is particularly effective at slowing the progression of atherosclerosis and reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Additionally, it contributes to reducing the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and recurrence after angioplasty. Therefore, this medication is used to simultaneously manage hypertension and hyperlipidemia for improved cardiovascular health.
