Hi sir,
Amtas m 50 is amlodipine and metoprolol , olmezest is olmesatan.
As she has developed bronchitis please stop metoprolol it's a beta blocker it has a potency to cause bronchospasm, so better to stop it , don't stop it abruptly tapper the dose for few days and then stop.
I advice u to continue both amlodipine and olmesatan .
Don't worry everything will be alright.
Bye take care.
