My mother was diagnosed with hypertension with 214/110 for the first time. Endocrinologist recommended prescribed Telmisartan40mg+Amlodipine5mg after a week i consulted Cardiologist and BP observed was 170 and 2D echo showed slight LVH and he told me to continue same medication (Telmisartan+Amlo) and he also prescribed Ramipril+Metoprolol so i told my mother to take it for 10days. Now my query is what medication should I continue?

Telmisartan and ramipril are same class of medicine and shud not be usually given together. Needs further optimisation of medicine

Don't use second combination medication, but DEFINATELY first is also not sufficient, meet cardiologist to adjust medications
