Not related to the medications your taking , frothy urine indicates that you are excreting protein in your urine , since your urine acr is within normal range . I would suggest to go for a urine pcr or 24 hour urine protein and follow up with reports
Next Steps
Urine pcr ( protein/creatinine ratio )

Neither of those medicines can cause frothy urine. If you are concerned, stop the drugs and ask your physician for different tablets. There are many other options for both diabetes and hypertension
