Rosuvastatin is a highly effective statin used to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk with a lower likelihood of side effects compared to older statins. It has a longer half-life, allowing for more flexible dosing and greater potency at lower doses, making it one of the most efficient options for lipid management. Unlike some other statins, rosuvastatin has minimal penetration of the blood-brain barrier, which may reduce the risk of cognitive side effects. Additionally, it has been shown to lower inflammation and stabilize arterial plaque, further supporting heart health and longevity.

Ezetimibe is a cholesterol-lowering medication that works by reducing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. It is often used as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle changes or in combination with statins to further reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Unlike statins, ezetimibe does not inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver, offering a unique and well-tolerated mechanism of action with minimal side effects. Emerging research suggests potential benefits beyond cholesterol control, including reducing markers of inflammation and possibly lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

Nebivolol is a beta-blocker medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It works by blocking the beta receptors in the heart, which reduces the heart rate and the force of each contraction, thereby lowering blood pressure and decreasing the heart's workload. Nebivolol is unique among beta-blockers because it also has vasodilatory properties, helping to relax blood vessels and further reduce blood pressure. Additionally, it has been shown to improve endothelial function, which contributes to better cardiovascular health.

Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as stroke and heart attack. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, telmisartan helps relax and widen blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow. In addition to its use in hypertension, telmisartan is also studied for its potential benefits in improving metabolic health and reducing inflammation, which may contribute to its protective effects on the heart and kidneys.
