Suggest New Drugs For Hypertension
I am 58 yrs male and having type-2 DM and hypertension. I was taking losacar-a+aten 50 (1 tab each daily) for BP and glimipride-2mg (1 tab only after breakfast) for type-2 dm. Now doctor has changed the medicine to comcor cor 2.5 mg+telma40 once for BP and glycomet gp-1 twice (after break fast and after dinner). Doctors view is that the medicines taken earlier are old and new have come in the market. I am not sure whether the change will be better. Pl. advise is the change o.k.

Hello ,
There is no scientific data that the newer medication are better as compared to the previous one you are taking . So if your blood pressure is well under control with the previous regime , It's worthwhile to take the same .
If uncontrolled concor has a slight edge over atenolol in controlling The BP .
