Switching from telmisartan to amlodipine
Hello doctors, Im having high blood pressure problem from last one year. Earlier I was prescribed amlodipine 2.5 then a month back I was given telmisartan 20mg by another doc. But after taking telmisartan I noticed a mild headache which runs through the head which is irritating. Amlodipine never gave me any side effects though. Can I change to amlodipine from telmisartan from tomorrow? Kindly help me with your valuable suggestions... PLEASE
