Can I take amlogard and veltam for hypertension?
Patient: I am a patiant of hypertension for the last17 years. I have a problem of prostrate glands also. My doctor has prescribed me following medicines : ( I am 72 years old-Male) 1) Amlogard 5mg (2) Telsarten 80 active (3) Tab Atocor 10 mg (4) Tab Tab Veltam 0.4 mg Pl advise me if the medicines prescribed are in order. My Lipid test results are within range. V G Joshi Doctor: Hello Mr Joshi.  Your medicine are perfectly in order.  Amlogard  and telmisartan are for your blood pressure,  and veltum is for prostate.  Though veltum is known to cause decrease in blood pressure in general population it is nit clinically significant.  If your lipids are in order and no other risk factors  you may decrease atacor  dose and completely move over it.  Rest wishing you the best of Health.  Regards Dr Priyank Mody
