I am 72 y/f .dm2 for 10 years, dyslipidemia. I started telma 20 after which my bp started coming between 118-124/66-72. I stopped telma. My bp remained 124-128/ 76 for 02 week without medication. From last 02 days my bp is 130-139/ 74-79. Someone suggested that I should start with amlodipine 2.5 mg instead of telma. No cad or other med problem.

Telma is considered good with patients with diabetes and that's why doctor suggested. people just see mg of medicine and believe that telma 40 mg is too high dose than amlodopine 2.5mg. which is very wrong please don't follow random suggestions. the blood pressure at this range can be managed without medicines also. try salt restricted diet. yoga and pranayama. or take Homoeopathic treatment.
