View approved original text

This medication is used in patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty controlling blood pressure with amlodipine and valsartan monotherapy, and in patients with dyslipidemia or those at risk of cardiovascular disease who require atorvastatin. The combination of amlodipine and valsartan effectively lowers blood pressure, helping to control hypertension, while atorvastatin improves serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Additionally, atorvastatin aids in reducing cardiovascular risks in diabetic patients with coronary heart disease risk factors. By administering these two medications together, both blood pressure and blood lipids can be managed simultaneously, effectively improving cardiovascular health. Therefore, this medication is used in the treatment of patients with both hypertension and dyslipidemia.
