Brief Answer:
Same active ingredient with different preparations

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

I have gone through your questions nd I understand your concerns but both medications have the same active constituent which is a calcium channel blocker antihypertensive .. however , the different preparations contain different non-active ingredients which can lead to different panel of side effects and different tolerance of your body to the preparation .

I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
