Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am on betaloc 47.5g to aid with my high BP which i take amlodipine besylate for. There is nothing wrong with my heart so was given it as a help for the BP. My question is that I have run out of Betaloc and there is no way I can pay/see a doctor until next week. Is this likely to affect me in anyway? Thanks, Bubs
Hello welcome to HCM. Since you have run out of betaloc I suggest you to take amlodipine 5mg twice a day. But you must know that even though you say you have no heart disease betaloc is very beneficial for the heart. It also keeps the heart rate under control. So amlodipine should not be used as a substitute for the betaloc. You must restart betaloc as soon as you are able to procure it. Wihsing you good health Regards
