View approved original text

This medication is administered to patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty in controlling blood pressure using a combination of telmisartan and amlodipine. Additionally, rosuvastatin is used as an adjunct treatment when dietary therapy and other baseline treatments are insufficient for hypercholesterolemia and familial hypercholesterolemia. This medication helps improve lipid levels in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and dysbetalipoproteinemia, and slows the progression of atherosclerosis. In elderly patients at high cardiovascular risk, a reduction in risks of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular revascularization is also expected. Therefore, this medication is effectively used to treat essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.
