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.
