My friend has been prescribed hydrochlothiazide 25 mg by her GP + 100-12.5 of Losartan HCTZ by another doctor + 10 MG of Amlodipine Besylate from her heart doctor. Aren t these drugs basically similar and should she have 3 separate scripts to take daily from 3 different doctors? She has heart problems, just had ablation of heart for afib today and has two stints. I am worried she is taking way too much medication. She also takes Simvastatin (Zocor), Plavix, Sotalol, Protonix, Synthroid (Hasimoto disease), and now iron supplements as she is anemic. The heart doctor that did the afib ablation today said he wanted to try and get her off some of her meds -- his only script is the Sotalol which is recent for the afib.
