This drug is used for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled despite using amlodipine and valsartan combination therapy. Additionally, rosuvastatin is used as an adjunct in patients with hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia that are not controlled by diet, and is also effective for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and primary dysbetalipoproteinemia. Rosuvastatin lowers cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic patients, delays the progression of atherosclerosis, and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, strokes, myocardial infarction, and vascular revascularization procedures. Therefore, this drug is used to effectively control blood pressure and blood lipids to improve cardiovascular health.
