This drug is suitable for patients who have both hypertension and dyslipidemia and need to use Telmisartan/Amlodipine combination and Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe combination together. Telmisartan/Amlodipine is used for patients with essential hypertension who have difficulty controlling blood pressure, while Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe helps improve serum lipid levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. Particularly, this drug is used as an adjunct to diet therapy to lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo B protein, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol levels, and increase HDL cholesterol.
