Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query,
Metalor-XR 50 and Natrilix Sr,both are good blood pressure medications.
150/80 to 140/90 blood pressure is not high but i would suggest you to keep it between 130/80 to 110/70 especially with anti-hypertensive drugs.
Means if it comes down between 110 to 130 systolic and 70 to 80 diastolic then I would consider it as a normal or in desirable range.
I generally advise my patients to start with calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) or ACE inhibitors like enalapril. However,I would advise you to discuss with your treating physician who will know about it and will guide you accordingly.
Apart from drugs, you should also follow salt restricted diet and some life style modifications like regular exercises,avoid stressful life,avoid alcohol or smoking. It will also be helpful to control your BP.
Hope this helps.
