Disease description:
Recently, while taking rosuvastatin calcium tablets to treat hyperlipidemia, I noticed that my blood pressure also decreased. May I ask: Can rosuvastatin calcium tablets be used to treat hypertension?
This medication is not used to treat hypertension; rather, it is a lipid-lowering drug. It can also help prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and is considered a first-line treatment for coronary artery disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. If you have hypertension, you must actively take antihypertensive medications. It is strongly recommended that you visit the Department of Cardiology at a hospital for blood pressure monitoring and, under your physician’s guidance, select an appropriate antihypertensive drug.
In daily life, maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins, vegetables, and fruits; strictly limit salt intake; and carefully control dietary fat consumption. Additionally, patients should engage in regular physical exercise to improve overall physical fitness.
