Dear,
As per our knowledge thalidomide was banned earlier for many years and now a days also it have very limited use like for ulcers in hiv patients or some rare disease but I have never seen any one using ait as anti hypertensive.
As per the side effects are concerned it can cause dizziness /constipation/gastrointestinal diaturbances and many more.
I will suggest to review ur drug...
And if possible take a second opinion.
Hope I cleared ur doubts.
