Apresol H 25mg/12.5mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 72 years old from Kolkata

I take telvas3d (aristo) for hypertension. Telvas 3d is a fixed dose combination of telmisartan (40 mg) plus amlodipine (5 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. I am 72 plus and now due to covid I am taking medicines online from pharmacy. Recently pharmacy doctor called me and intimated that in stead of telvas 3d they will supply telista ch of lupin. I asked him to confirm whether telista ch contains all the three ingredients and the doctor confirmed. But when the medicine arrived it is seen that telista ch contains only telmisartan, 40 plus chlorthalidone 12.5.there is no amlopidine ie calcium channel component. Both the medicines are anti hypertension medicines but they are not identical and equivalent .function of amlopidine will not be there in telista ch please confirm.

Sir
since you are on tripple combination and telista ch already purchased separate 5 mg amlodepine can be taken along with telistach. Since contain diuretic with telmisartan can be taken in the morning along with amlodepine. This three medicine include different class given in uncontrolled hypertension. Since you are 72 years ocasional andsodium and potassium and may be tested. This combination are relatively safe drugs.

Nothing is that critical but you need one md physician as creatinine just deranged, eoshinopil also just deranged.
They need regular follow up.

Buy a thiazide drug and spironolactone separately. Ask your Dr. about aldactone 25 with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5.

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Hi curiosity is fine, but if you try googling each and every medication you will find something which your mind wants to find. What is best for you your doctors know better than you as the beta blockers which you have mentioned you have just googled them and have no idea regarding their efficacy potency or mortality benefit. You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more
