Telmisartan: A medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the effects of a hormone called angiotensin II, which helps to constrict blood vessels. By blocking this hormone, telmisartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Rosuvastatin: A medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. It works by lowering the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol. Rosuvastatin also increases the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is often referred to as 'good' cholesterol.

Telmisartan + Rosuvastatin is a combination medication that works in two ways to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Telmisartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby lowering blood pressure. Rosuvastatin lowers LDL cholesterol levels and increases HDL cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
