This medication is used for patients who need to take Amlodipine/Valsartan combination therapy and Rosuvastatin simultaneously. The Amlodipine/Valsartan combination is used in patients with essential hypertension for whom blood pressure is not well controlled with either Amlodipine or Valsartan alone. Rosuvastatin is an adjunctive therapy for dietary management in patients with hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia, especially effective in certain types such as familial hypercholesterolemia. In addition, Rosuvastatin lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, delays the progression of atherosclerosis, and reduces the risks of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction. This medication is used to manage blood pressure and blood lipid levels together to improve overall cardiovascular health.

This medication is contraindicated for individuals with allergies to any of its components or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with severe liver or kidney disease, and those with certain vascular and heart conditions. Patients with low sodium or fluid levels in the body may experience low blood pressure, so it is important to manage their condition before taking this medication and to carefully monitor blood pressure and condition during use. Patients with high potassium levels or those taking potassium-sparing diuretics should have their potassium levels checked frequently. Patients with compromised kidney function, kidney transplant recipients, and those with a history of angioedema require special caution when taking this medication, and it should be discontinued immediately if angioedema symptoms occur. Patients with heart failure or after myocardial infarction should periodically monitor kidney function and blood pressure changes, and be cautious of low blood pressure or exacerbation of cardiac symptoms during treatment. One of the ingredients in this medication, Rosuvastatin, may cause muscle-related side effects such as myalgia, myopathy, and rarely, rhabdomyolysis, so if muscle pain or weakness occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Additionally, liver function abnormalities or hepatitis symptoms may occur, so it is important to have regular liver function tests.
