Is There Any Generic Equivalent For Pharmapress And Adalat Medication For BP?

I have history of chronic fatique and depression. My bloodpressure is under controll with Pharmapress 20 and Adalat 30. I use Adco Mirteron 30 (half) and Venlor 150. I want to find out if the Pharmapress and Adalat has any generic eqwivalent and what is the most common side effects for the meds I take for my bloodpressure. After taking the meds for depression my libido took off and now it took off more since I use the meds for highbloodpressure. Yes, and I also feel tired during the days. I slleep well with the Adco Mirteron but have terrible nightmares. Thanks for availability. George S I am so sorry. Thought the service was free. I am staying in Sout Africa and it would cost too expensive due to the exchange rate. Really sorry for bothering you.

Hi,

Usually, medications for high blood pressure decrease lipido and sexual function.

Adco Mirteron and Venlor are anti-depressant medications who have fatigue and tiredness and loss of lipido as side effects too.

The generic name for Pharmapress is Enalapril; while the generic name for Adalat is Nifedipine. If you cannot find them under the trade name of Pharmapress, can search for other brand names of Enalapril and Nifedipine.

All the best!
