Olmat CT is a combination of two drugs, one directly reduces your bp and the other causes diuresis and indirectly reduces the bp. Olmat 20 has only one drug. So your bp control might get compromised. Better try for another brand with the same drug. Never stop your bp medication which can be dangerous. Always refill your bp medication in advance.

Clinically seen effect of Cilnidipine is different from Amlodipine in a lot of patients. Although, 10 mg of Cilnidipine is considered equivalent to 5 mg of Amlodipine, a shift from Amlodipine to Cilnidipine may lead to reduced efficacy atleast fir the first 1-2 weeks. You may change the medicines if unacceptable pedal edema is present.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. I learn that you have Hypothyroidism and hypertension.

Without any of these details, it is difficult to give any opinion.
