This medication is used in patients who require treatment with both Telmisartan and Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe. Telmisartan is effective in treating essential hypertension and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly lowering the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in high-risk cardiovascular disease patients who cannot use ACE inhibitors. Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe helps to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, ApoB protein, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels in patients with primary and mixed dyslipidemia. This medication is used to support cardiovascular health through blood pressure control and improvement of blood lipids.
