Brief Answer:
Telmisartan plus metaprolol

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

What is your current BP reading. It would be good to share the recent 5 BP readings and doses. I am happy that TMT, lipid profile are good and no abnormality.

It is good to keep a record of BP reading three times a day so that the doses and frequency of the medicine be factored.

However Tazloc and Nebicard are good BP control medicines. Telmisartan plus metoprolol is being used more frequently by doctors because of its effectiveness and low side effect profile.

Let me know the details.
