I'm really worried because I've been on amlogard 5 mg and olmesar 10mg for my blood pressure for the past five months. Now, my gastroenterologist has told me I have an intestine infection and said I should stop the olmesar. They suggested I take a different medication instead, but I'm not sure what I should switch to. Do you have any advice on what could work with the amlogard?

I'm a bit confused about my prescription. The doctor mentioned something about Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. Is that the same as saying Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet R 50mg5mg? I'm not certain if he wants me to take XL or just R. Could you help me understand the difference?

It is the combination medication , prolomet xl r 505 mg is the medication.
