HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If you do not have good reason to continue this drug then why to take this, moreover you have been advise for to take this pill for five years so you have to take this for only said period, now I would advise you to stop this medicine and nothing wrong in stopping this medicine, take care and have nice day.
