Amlodipine Besylate 5 MG Tablet Health Feed

Dear Ms. Nancy, both medicines can be taken simultaneously or with some time difference.
Wishing you Speedy Recovery.

There is tendency for temporary weakness when BP is treated effectively. Weakness should normalize soon. You have amlodipine in both your combination pills. Not a problem but your Dr. should make note of same. Do not change to olmi 20 + H at present. Olmisartan is similar to coversyl. I will be too strong when combined with other medicines.
Triglycerides 196 is due to sugar and starch in diet. Change to balanced traditional diet. It is much healthier that the modern restricted diet. Best wis...more

Please consult in the OPD with good physician or adut. Cardiologist. Never a medicine must be added or switched without proper clinical exam. Your BP is responding but HR high for age. It should have gone down. You might be having few extra beats.

Yes valsartan can be used in the place of telmisartan.
It's available in strengths of 80 mg /160 mg.
I recommend 80 mg to start with.

If you are afe below 40 metoprolol is very effective. Age over 60 you can try higher dose amlodipine if bp uncontrolled.

Probably too strong medicine. Full effect of amlodipine will come after 30 days, your BP may become below 100 next month due to too much medicine. Suggest stop medicine. Measure BP only once every month on fixed date after resting for ten minutes, start medicines if BP 160 on 2 occasions, or if always above 140.

Very unlikely the cause may be by amlodipine, rather change your daily lifestyle like drinking adequate water daily, no or less junks, more of fibers and less carb diets. That will help you a lot. Also get one physician consultation regarding hypertension any change of dosages/ compositions.

Little bit difference. Side effects like swelling over legs is less with S-Amlodipine, Also efficacy is little superior of S-Amlodipine but if her BP is controlled with Amlodipine you can continue with that.

You can take both together in combination at the same time and record your bp and pulse rate so that any alteration can be done if required.

Hi.
For anybody who has raised bp at a younger age, thorough investigation are to be done to look for cause of bp. Just taking bp pills is not the solution. Discuss about this with your doctor. Also, first make sure that your bp is really raised all time. Many times, bp rises temporarily due to apprehension, fear or anxiety. You can consider 24 hours ambulatory bp monitoring test.
Take care.
