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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've had angioplasty with two stents placed back in December 2017. I'm taking Brilinta 90 mg, Carca, Cardace, and Metformin morning and evening, with Ecosprin in the evening. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have my evening dose of medication after having some alcohol. Is this safe or should I be worried about any interactions?
After consuming liquor, it is generally not recommended to take certain medications due to potential interactions. However, based on the medications you are currently taking, it is safe to take the evening dose of Ecosprin (aspirin) after consuming liquor. It is important to avoid alcohol with Brilinta (Ticagrelor) as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol with Metformin. As for Carca and Cardace, which are likely beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors respectively, it is generally safe to take them with alcohol in moderation. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?
Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.

I'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.
