This medication is used for patients who need to treat both hypertension and dyslipidemia simultaneously. It is particularly suitable for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled despite taking telmisartan and amlodipine combination therapy. Additionally, it is indicated for patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia who require treatment through a combination of atorvastatin and ezetimibe. This medication helps lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo B, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol levels, while raising HDL cholesterol levels, thus effectively managing hypertension and dyslipidemia to improve health.
