I've been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and my doctor has put me on Dytor 5 Plus and Cardace 1.25. He mentioned I need to take these meds for 6 months, but I'm a bit worried about whether it's really safe to be on Dytor 5 Plus for such a long period. Could there be any side effects from taking it for 6 months or maybe longer?

No need to worry, follow your doctor advice
