This medication is used for patients who require simultaneous administration of Amlodipine/Valsartan combination and Rosuvastatin. The Amlodipine/Valsartan combination helps to lower blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty controlling blood pressure with monotherapy. Rosuvastatin improves cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia that are not controlled by diet and exercise, and it delays the progression of atherosclerosis. Additionally, it plays a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, lowering the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and arterial revascularization. This medication effectively improves cardiovascular health by managing both blood pressure and cholesterol levels simultaneously.
