View approved original text

This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty controlling blood pressure with monotherapy and who require a combination of amlodipine and valsartan. Additionally, rosuvastatin is used in conjunction with dietary therapy for patients with hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia to control cholesterol levels and slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. It particularly helps in reducing the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and revascularization procedures in patients at high risk for cardiovascular diseases. It is used to improve cardiovascular health by managing both hypertension and dyslipidemia simultaneously.
