Can BP & Sugar Medicine be taken together?

[Super-Star]

Hi, I have been prescribed Istamet 50/500 (twice daily) for Sugar & Telmikind AM for BP. Is it ok to take Istamet & Telmikind together or there should be some gap between the two medicine? If Gap is needed how many hours?

Hi,

Different medication react differently as we all are different in many ways.

I am afraid you need to ask your doctor this question?

The medication information may help you to understand it.

Dear Super-Star

Welcome to the DI forum!

Istamet is a combo drug of Vildagliptin & Metformin and Telmikind AM is a combination of Telmisartan & Amlodipine.

While, there seems to be no drug interaction, however , it is not advisable to take 4 chemicals at a time.

It appears you are taking istamet 50/500 during breakfast and dinner.

May be , you can take the Telmikind AM during lunch time!

Your diet , life style changes and physical exercise, yoga, Pranayam should be first line of defence and I am sure you should be able to minimise medication or even avoid medications ..

There are a lot of NGO' s , Volunteers available in India to take care of your dieary recommendation , lifestyle change , yoga, meditation etc etc which would be helpful...

There are residential programs available in many places where you will have to stay there for 7-10 days where you can learn the tips..

May God bless you...Stay Safe, Stay Healthy

I am taking istamet 50/1000 daily twice. Also sartel beta 50 mg together before breakast almost from past 15 years. Nothing happened software. I feel it is safe to take together as advised my doctor.
