Diabetic. On S-amlodipine And Clinidipine. Will It Be Safe To Take Telma And Cilnidipine?

Thanks for the query.
You are taking 2 different drugs - each from a different class.
S-Amlodipine and clinidipine are both calcium antagonists (CCB). Similarly Losartan and telmisartan are both Angiotensin II Receptor antagonists (ARB). Therefore if your blood pressure is well controlled, there is NO NEED TO CHANGE...
It is mostly the class effects of the drugs that count in their action - of course, individual differences are there in duration of action, absorption, dose, price and so on - but not dramatic...
Besides that 'New' does not always mean ‘better’; sometimes 'old is gold' - they have had post marketing surveillance, better than the new
To sum up, there is no need to change.
Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have other concerns.
Good luck
