Bempedoic Acid + Rosuvastatin

Introduction

Bempedoic acid + Rosuvastatin is a powerful combination medicine used to lower high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL-C) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is prescribed to individuals with high cholesterol levels who cannot reach their targets with statins alone or are intolerant to high-dose statins.
