I am on Amlopress AT twice ( Atenolol 50 + Amlodipine 5 twice) with Losar H am and Losar 50 pm As there was a bp elevation in the evening continuously my internist asked me to take Amlopress AT twice Losar 50 twice and added indapamide 1.5 SR am. My query is what is the difference in HCTZ 12.5 and Indapamide 1.5 Are they not similar ? Because of the cost factor Natrilix SR 1.5 costing Rs 70/- per 10 tabs. I expressed my concern to my internist. He made it TENOCLOR 100 ( ATENOLOL-100 + HCTZ 25 ) am Losar A ( Amlodipine 5 mg + losartan 50 twice ) am-pm. I am slightly confused Can u guide me. Sir, U hv helped me in the past also I m from India.
Answer Hi Harsvadan
Would you give me some time before I can take this question. I do hope that it is not very urgent, because I have some important visits scheduled out of the city. I will be away for a week, if I get the time I will work on this. Please send me this question on my e mail rghooi@gmail.com
