What Causes Uncontrolled BP Levels Despite Having Prolomet And Betaloc?

Hypertension and coronary artery disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Prolomet 25 XL contains 25mg of Metoprolol. Betaloc also contains Metoprolol .It is not clear why you have been prescribed same beta-blockers twice.
Since your BP is 160/105 i.e not adequately controlled ,you should take ACEI (angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor) e. g. Ramipril ( standard dose 5 mg once daily) and in place of betaloc 500/150 ,more logical prescription would be Prolomet 50 XL once daily.
Otherwise,Ismo 20mg twice a day,Nicorandil 5 mg twice a day,Rosuvastatin 40 mg once daily,Prasugrel 10 mg once daily,Ecosprin 150 mg once daily,Pan 40 mg once daily are quite standard prescription.
