Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
No, there is no specific danger, it may just be more or less efficient than the other one so you should see if there will be improvement or not.These medications act similarly and it should be problematic to use any of these.
Wish you good health. I hope I ve answered your query.
