This medication is used for patients who need to take telmisartan and rosuvastatin/ezetimibe simultaneously. First, telmisartan helps reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death from cardiovascular diseases in patients with essential hypertension and those in high-risk groups for cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, it is used as an alternative treatment for patients who cannot take ACE inhibitors. Meanwhile, rosuvastatin/ezetimibe supports cardiovascular health by improving blood cholesterol levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. This medication reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo B, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. Therefore, this medication is used to improve both blood pressure and cholesterol management, thereby lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
