View allI'm dealing with high blood pressure and hypothyroidism since 2016. I've been taking Thyronorm 75 and Amcard 5mg twice a day. I just got my TSH levels tested and it's around 6.8. My doctor recommended upping my Thyronorm to 100mcg and switching to Tazloc AM once a day for my blood pressure. Is Tazloc AM actually safe, and can I really switch to it instead of sticking with Amcard? I've been feeling pretty okay with Amcard 5 twice daily and my blood pressure seems well-managed with it.
Tazloc AM is a combination medication containing Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) and Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It is generally safe to use, but it is important to follow your doctor's advice when switching medications. If you are comfortable with Amcard 5mg twice a day and have good control over your blood pressure, you can discuss with your doctor about continuing with Amcard instead of switching to Tazloc AM. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the best management of your high blood pressure. Regarding your thyroid medication, increasing Thyronorm from 75mcg to 100mcg as per your doctor's advice is aimed at better control of your hypothyroidism, especially with a TSH level of 6.8. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage adjustment for optimal management of your hypothyroidism.
