Hello,

From your description, I am of the opinion that I should explain your queries pointwise.

1. Tazoalc acts by inhibiting angiotensin receptors so blood vessels dilate and BP is reduced, Amlodipine acts by inhibiting calcium channels in vessel wall cells so they reduce less, less contractibility less force, so BP will reduce.

2. I will advise you to be on Tazolac for now 3. You should use fewer salts, fewer fats, more fibers. It can help you to lower your dosage in supplementation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
