Dear sir
Alprax and calciguard is never an alternative for olmesartan and amlodepine as these two are potent antihypertensive drugs.
Since you have high blood pressure especially diastolic, alprax reduces anxiety indirectly reduces blood pressure.
But adding a third agent for control of blood pressure is recommended rather than increasing the dosage. It is suggested to add a beta blocker as it reduces diastolic bp well.
Consult your doctor once
Thanks
