View approved original text

This medication is used for patients who need to take amlodipine/valsartan combination and rosuvastatin at the same time. The amlodipine/valsartan combination is used to treat hypertension, especially essential hypertension that is difficult to control with monotherapy. Rosuvastatin helps improve primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia and is used as an adjunct when diet and exercise cannot control it. This medicine effectively manages blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, thereby improving health.
