I recently got my blood test results back, and I'm a bit worried. They showed that I have high blood pressure and elevated liver enzymes, with my SGPT at 57 UL and SGOT at 50 UL. My doctor prescribed Atoris for the blood pressure, but I heard it might not be good for people with high SGPT and SGOT levels. Could you let me know if that's true and what I should do?

I'm currently managing my high blood pressure with telvas 40 and my high pulse with ivabradine 5, which I take twice a day. I also have mild asthma. Is it safe for me to switch to telvas beta 50?

No need to change the medicine . U can continue same treatment since tab telma is safer in asthamatic patients..ARBs are the first line medications in asthmatic patients.

I'm a bit confused about my medication change. My doctor used to prescribe Concor AM 2.5mg, but now they've switched me to Concor COR 2.5mg. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm curious if there's a big change or anything I should be concerned about.

Concor AM 2.5mg is a combination medication containing bisoprolol (a beta-blocker) and amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker), while Concor COR 2.5mg contains only bisoprolol. The main difference is that Concor AM helps control blood pressure through two different mechanisms because of its two active ingredients, while Concor COR works through just one mechanism (beta-blocking). However, since this involves your prescribed medication, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist about why they made this change, as they know your specific medical situation and can explain their reasoning for modifying your prescription.
