I'm trying to figure out the difference between Telma and Covamlo. Is Covamlo just Telma with something else added, or is it a completely different medication? I'm a bit confused about whether they contain the same things. Can you help clarify this for me?

Telma and Covamlo are both medications used to treat hypertension, but they contain different active ingredients. Telma contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, while Covamlo contains a combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan. So, Covamlo does have Telma salt (Telmisartan) along with Amlodipine. The combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan in Covamlo helps in better control of blood pressure compared to Telma alone.

My mom keeps mentioning that she's experiencing chest and back pain off and on. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could there be any specific reasons for these symptoms that we should look into?

Chest pain and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Some common causes include musculoskeletal issues, such as muscle strain or inflammation. However, more serious conditions like heart problems (such as angina or a heart attack), lung issues (such as pneumonia or a pulmonary embolism), or gastrointestinal problems (such as acid reflux or gallbladder issues) could also be the cause. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
