Improvement of hypertension and dyslipidemia, reduction of cardiovascular disease risk
This medication is used to control blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension using a combination of amlodipine and valsartan, and to improve hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia with the addition of rosuvastatin. Amlodipine and valsartan are effective for hypertensive patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled. Rosuvastatin helps to lower lipid levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and familial hypercholesterolemia that are not managed by diet. Furthermore, rosuvastatin delays the progression of atherosclerosis, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and decreases the likelihood of stroke and myocardial infarction. This medication is used to improve cardiovascular health and to reduce overall cardiovascular risk by controlling both blood pressure and lipid levels.
This medication should be taken once daily, 1 tablet at a time, with water. It is recommended that it be taken at the same time each day (e.g., before breakfast) whenever possible. The doses of amlodipine/valsartan combination and rosuvastatin should be individualized based on effectiveness and tolerability. Examples of amlodipine/valsartan combination dosing: - 5/80 mg: for patients whose blood pressure is not controlled with monotherapy of amlodipine 5 mg or valsartan 80 mg.
