Change of medicine
I've been taking "amlovas 10mg" for past 19 years for BP
I noticed continuous swelling around ankle and foot area
Consulted a doctor, who immediately prescribed me with "TELMIBET 40" saying amlovas is old due to which kidneys have been effected leading to sweeling around ankle.
Should i actually change the medicine or continue with amlovas 10mg or reduce its mg count
Any form of help will be appreciated
Thank you
