This medication is used for patients who need to take Telmisartan along with Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe simultaneously. Telmisartan helps treat essential hypertension and reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in patients over 55 years of age at high risk of major cardiovascular events. It is especially suitable for patients who cannot use ACE inhibitors. Meanwhile, Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe is used to improve blood cholesterol and lipid levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia. This combination lowers total cholesterol and bad cholesterol (LDL), ApoB, and triglyceride levels while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Therefore, this medication effectively improves cardiovascular health through blood pressure and lipid management.

Since this medication can interact with other drugs, particularly if taking antihypertensives, diuretics, anticoagulants, etc., it is essential to inform the physician. If any adverse symptoms like liver dysfunction, myalgia, severe skin rash, or breathing difficulties occur, stop the medication immediately and visit a hospital. It should be used along with a proper diet, and regular liver and kidney function tests should be performed before and during treatment.
