I have been on cilnipres 10 and metolar xr 50 for sometime. Bp remains stable with these meds. I need to know whether I can go for amlokind 5 in place of cilnipres 10 as it is cost effective. I learnt that 5 mg amlodipine is equivalent to 10 mg cilnidipine.

No clinidipine is more effective than amlo. Moreover with lesser side effects trust your doctor and your medication.
