Hi,
About measagol - It is minimal dose you are taking, you should continue for it. Dose of Amlopress-AT will depend on your BP. The dose may be reduced gradually depending on your BP. Sudden stopage is not advised. Folic acid may be withdrawn after getting your folic acid level checked.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
