2021-11-02 12:32:50
I am taking Telma 40 since 4 weeks. My BP has been in control for the month but since 3 says its high to 135/97 or so .. Today At doc office it shows 140/90. I have been advised to change to Covamlo. Is it a similar medicine like Telma ? Is it too early to change ?

No it is not too early to change. Since you have recently started BP medicines, you need frequent dose titration initially untill your dose is fixed.
