How it works
Telrose Tablet is a combination of Telmisartan and Rosuvastatin. Telmisartan works by relaxing your blood vessels. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow freely and the heart to pump more efficiently. Rosuvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver and helps to lower cholesterol levels in your blood. It further reduces the risk of complications related to high levels of cholesterol.
