Brief Summary   This study is a multicentric, comparative, open label, randomized, parallel-group, phase III study. The primary objective is to asses and compare the LDL-C lowering efficacy of fixed dose combinations of rosuvastatin calcium (5/10/20 mg) and ezetimibe 10 mg in comparison with rosuvastatin calcium10 mg or ezetimibe 10 mg, monotherapy, after 4 Weeks of treatment. Secondary objective would be to assess and compare the effects of FDC of rosuvastatin calcium (5/10/20 mg) with ezetimibe 10 mg vs. monotherapy of these drugs on percentage change in HDL-C, TC, TG, non-HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C and nonHDL-C/HDL-C from baseline after 4 weeks of therapy and also to assess the safety and tolerability of FDC of rosuvastatin calcium (5/10/20 mg) in combination with ezetimibe 10 mg vs. rosuvastatin calcium 10 mg vs. ezetimibe 10 mg after 4 weeks of treatment. This study is sponsored by Biocon with three centers across india. The study will recruit 200 patients from India.
