tab cilinidipine can be taken as a replacement
it belongs to group of drug called calcium channel blocker
though most of the calcium channel blockers are contraindicated in heart failure
yet cilinidipine is very safe and can be sucessfully used in cardiac ailment
as ramipril caused you allergy and telmisartan is also causing you problem
you can switch over to cilinidipine

good luck
