Hello,
As far as diabetes medicines are concerned,it is same,however since the blood pressure is high ( 120/100 ),it is advised to take blood pressure medicine ( losar - 50 ) since target blood pressure should be below 120/80.
I tablet of ISTAVEL 100 and 2 tablets of CETAPIN 1000 is equal to 2 tablets of ISTAMET 50/1000.
You should definitely go for change of medicine.
Thanks
