What is Creslip (Telmisartan/Atorvastatin) used for?

Creslip (Telmisartan/Atorvastatin) is used for the treatment of high cholesterol levels. It has two medications which work together to raise levels of "good" cholesterol (High-density lipoproteins or HDL) and lower levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) while reducing blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that widens blood vessels to increase blood circulation. Atorvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver.
