Brief Answer:
Yes - take the drug and follow up

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You ought aim for a pressure of 130/80.
Many people need three drugs – a combination of 3 drugs, each acting by different mechanisms.
ERITEL-TRIO has three drugs in combination – telmisartan (40 mg), amlodipine (5 mg), and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg.
You can take the drug, as advised and follow up with your doctor – to adjust the dose.

Good luck
God bless you
