Hi,

I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. As per your history, please find my advice below:

Composition of drugs

- MET XL 25
- METOPROLOL beta blocker CLOPITAB-A-150

- [aspirin + clopidogrel] ATORVASTATIN-40-[Anti-lipid]

1) Do a blood DC 2) Do a STOOL exam and renal function test 3)Your drug has no relations with your problem.

Continue with these drugs as prescribed by your doctor. If it still persist then tell your treating doctor to change beta blocker to any other antihypertensive drugs.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
