Hi, i,m Jyotika,43,5ft 7,64kgs, have been taking Telista Am ,it's telmisartan and amlodiphine tab 40mg once a day.my query is concerned the report i read about ARB's being not safe as studies have shown people getting cancer,however FDA has declared them safe,but doubt has crept in my mind, who knows that the report is not fudged...is it safe to have ARB's or should i shift to ACEI's...Please clear my doubts. Thanks.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. FDA approved the drug so no need to worry. It doesn't produce cancer. However overall ACE inhibitors are good drugs for hypertension. It also causes remodeling of heart. So ACE inhibitors are the preferred drugs for hypertension. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
