This medicine is used for patients who need to take both telmisartan and rosuvastatin at the same time. Telmisartan is effective in treating essential hypertension and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. It particularly helps in reducing the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and related deaths in high-risk patients aged 55 and older. Rosuvastatin improves dyslipidemia such as hypercholesterolemia, slows the progression of atherosclerosis, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and myocardial infarctions. These two medications are used to improve cardiovascular health by controlling both blood pressure and blood lipid levels in patients at high risk for cardiovascular diseases.
