atorvastatin + telmisartan

Atorvastatin + telmisartan is a fixed-dose combination drug used to treat patients with both high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol (dyslipidemia). Atorvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase to reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver and lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that blocks the action of angiotensin II on vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland AT1 receptors. This leads to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. The combination lowers cardiovascular risk by addressing two major risk factors—hypertension and hypercholesterolemia—simultaneously[1][4]. Clinical studies show this combination improves lipid profiles and blood pressure control in patients with comorbid conditions such as obesity or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease[4].
