Telmisartan and Rosuvastatin Tablets 80/20 mg

Adult dose

Telmisartan: The recommended oral dose for adults with essential hypertension is 40 mg once daily, which may also be effective at 20 mg once daily for some patients. If necessary, dosage can be increased up to 80 mg once daily. For reduction of cardiovascular risk, an oral dose of 80 mg once daily is recommended. In patients with liver impairment, mild to moderate cases should not exceed 40 mg once daily. Rosuvastatin Calcium: For primary hypercholesterolemia (including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia - type IIa), mixed dyslipidemia (type IIb), primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (type III), and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, patients should be on a standard cholesterol-lowering diet before and during treatment, which should be maintained throughout the treatment period. This medication can be taken at any time of the day regardless of meals. The initial dose is 5 mg once daily, and for greater reduction of LDL cholesterol levels, the maintenance dose can be adjusted. The maintenance dose is typically 10 mg once daily for most patients. The maintenance dose should be adjusted according to LDL cholesterol levels, therapeutic goals, and patient response at intervals of 4 weeks or more, with a maximum daily dose of 20 mg.
