Suggest Treatment For Chronic Headache And Hypertension

default
Posted on Tue, 4 Apr 2017
Question: Good evening Dr. XXXXXXX I am under your treatment for cure of my chronic headache. You have advised following medicines:-

1. Tryptomer 25 mg once at night
2. Betacap TR 40 once in the morning.

You had replaced the tablet Telma 40 which I was taking to control my blood pressure with Betacap TR 40 saying that this will also help in controlling my headache beside controlling the blood pressure.

Yesterday when I visited my Physician (who gives me medicines for my diabetes), he suggested that I should plan to stop Betacap TR 40 and replace it with Telma 40. Please advise if Betacap TR 40 is safe to take on long term basis.
