Hello and welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear you are having problems controlling your blood pressure. The medication you have been prescribed is a combination of three types of medication ; an ARB (Angiotensin II receptor blockers), a CCI (calcium channel inhibitor) and a diuretic. Combination therapies are increasingly common as working in different ways they prove more effective than increasing the dose of a single medication.
I am on a combination therapy of an ACE inhibitor and a beta blocker (also lowers pulse). Previously I was on an ACE inhibitor, a CCI and a diuretic.
It is unlikely you will have any issues but with the diuretic you may need the loo more frequently. Let us know how you get on.
Sorry I cannot help you bayram. I was on Losartan for Raynaud's. It did help in that, but I had to stop it when got Atrial Fib which needed other medications, I never had high BP in the first place and the combination of all the medications actually reduced my BP into the low BP range.
