I took revelol am 50/5. my b.p. was detected to be 150/90. and it was 130-140 / 80-90. Recently again it has gone up to 150/90. So, I am taking 1/2 tab.of revelol am 50/5 extra. The B.p. is 125-138 / 80-85 levels. Is it okay to take 1 (morning) and 1/2 (evening) of revelol?

Hi,welcome to HCM..
Thanks for writing to us.

Revelol am 50/5 is drug which has subdrug component namely:
1.Metoprolol 50- beta blocker used to control the heart rate.
2.amlodipine 5- antihypertensive component.
METOPROLOL when taken in higher doses may have side effect like dizziness, lightheadedness and diarrhoea.AMLODIPINE as such has very few adverse effects such as swelling of the ankle and feet.Its okay to have 1 and 1/2 drug but just keep in mind the adverse effects.

Hope I have answered your query.
Stay fit,good luck.
