Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Its only a different brand, composition is the same. The blood pressure is well maintained, and will continue the same. The action of new medication will be same like previous.
2. It will have the same side effects, if you had any previously. If you did not have, you are not going to have anything now. Do not worry.
3. It is alright to continue this medication, just like before. Take all medications regularly.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
