Yes you can switch to losartan and cilnidipine.
Losartan has benefits in reducing uric acid also. It will control bp and prevent remodeling of heart too. Adding cildnipine will further help to control bp by dilating blood vessels and reducing work load on heart.
The mainstay of treatment for lvh with diastolic dysfunction is ace/arbs, diuretics, ccbs and beta blockers!
beta blockers may later be added if needed!

Leg swelling is a very unlikely side effect of cilnidipine, but possible. You need a few tests to rule out other causes.

Cilnidipine is a newer calcium blocker. Older ones are safe for prolonged use and in elderly. Cilnidipine should be similar but it is a bit of a leap of faith

No different molecules in addition.
Cilacar c has cilnidipine which is a calcium channel blocker and chlorthalidone a diuretic and sartel ln has telmisartan with cilnidipine both are used for bp control. Take care.

My husband is detected with high bp. Initial reading was at 150/90 when he was put under medication of Nexovas 10 mg. He is just 33 years of age and does regular strength and cardio exercise. He wanted to reduce his BP with proper diet and exercise so he stopped taking tablet after 1 week and increased his exercise and switched to low sodium diet. His BP came down to 120. After 7-10 days he got fever and dizziness so went to general physician who mentioned his bp has gone upto 150. He was asked to do lipid profile test and detected with high LDI cholesterol of 140.6. The general physician put him under HH Rosu 10 mg to reduce LDI. Since he has consulted another doctor earlier for BP he went back to him to take his opinion on medication and show him lipid test. He asked to stop HH ROSU and put him under 80 mg Azilsartan Medoxomil 80 mg. We are totally confused what is good for him and what he should continue. We want his bp to control without any side effect of high dose medication. Suggest.

Hi, Our targets for BP should be <140/90 most of the time. You can try life style modification but if your BP remains higher than targets, Then we should use medicines, which should be on regular basis. Initially we can use one medicine if not controlled by one drug, we can add other drug or increase the dose of 1st one. For LDL of 140, we can wait and try to control it with lifestyle modifications without medicines. But If LDL is associated with other disease like Diabetes or Coronary Artery Di...more
