View approved original text

This drug is used for patients who need to take Telmisartan and Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe simultaneously. Telmisartan controls hypertension and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death due to cardiovascular diseases in high-risk patients aged 55 and older. It is particularly effective in patients who cannot use ACE inhibitors. Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe help improve cholesterol levels, reducing blood lipids in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Therefore, this drug is used to manage both hypertension and dyslipidemia, improving cardiovascular health.
