Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Gluformin xl is a anti diabetic medication used to keep your blood sugars well controlled.
Tazloc is telmisartan used to control your blood pressure. Used for hypertension.
LN bloc contains cilnidipine which also is a medication for high blood pressure. It is same as cilacar but different brand name.
Aztor contains atorvastatin which is a cholesterol decreasing agent which has been used for you to control and reduce your high cholesterol.
Urimax contains tamsulosin which is used to treat benign prostate hypertrophy which has a effect of not able to pass urine freely or difficulty in passing urine.
I hope I have answered your query well.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for following up with me. To your questions kindly read ahead.

1.Your fasting blood sugar is 140. It is considered normal if it is below 100. So you need to continue to take your Gluformin tablet. PPBS is 168 which is well within range for you.

2. Tazloc and LN bloc should be taken together as both act to reduce your blood pressure. As you have mentioned your BP as 150/90 it is well controlled with the prescribed meds; so kindly continue taking it. Now you have mentioned that you feel sleepy after taking tazloc but there is no documented side effect of these group. Either your night sleep is not adequate or you are getting tired by doing some more work appropriate for your age. 1 tablet after food is right way.

3. To control diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol have few things in common. That is why chose to answer your query in single answer. You need to reduce your intake of sweet, oily food stuffs. Decrease in salt intake is important to reduce BP. Fresh fruits and vegetables consumption should be increased. Regular exercise should be made a part of life. By doing that your diabetes, BP and cholesterol will come down in natural way. Proper diet and exercise will keep you healthy. It will also keep your heart functions and other vital organs well functioning.

4. You can repeat it once a month at least for lipid profile. BP you can monitor at your home every week once. Blood sugar once a 15 days will be enough.

I hope I have answered your query well. And one more advice is that never skip your medications. Take them regularly as prescribed.
If you have any more query kindly write back to me.
Thank you
