Question

I'm really worried about my husband's blood pressure. He's been taking amlopidine 5mg, but his BP was still 149110. The doctor suggested adding telmac 40mg, and now his BP is around 12185 and 11775. He's not feeling well, though. I'm thinking maybe 40mg is too much for him. Could I try giving him half the dose of telmac instead?

It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Telmisartan without consulting your doctor. Telmisartan 40mg is a standard starting dose for hypertension, and it is important to follow your doctor's instructions. If your husband is not feeling well, it is best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
