Hello,
Viacoram is a combination of 2 medication (amlodipine and preindopril). Both these can be given for older people safely. It should not be given if there are other factors like severe kidney disease or high potassium for example.
Yes, you can stop it immediately if you wish but check blood pressure regularly to see if you need medication for it as without this treatment your blood pressure might go up.
Kind Regards
