Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
I am afraid we don't provide prescription services. However if you develop side effects due to a medication you must consult your physician for a possible change of drug. All drugs are associated with some side effects in 2-3% of recipients.
Guidelines for cholesterol management lay stress on life style modifications like avoiding fried foods, sweets, weight management, daily exercise and drug therapy for high risk individuals.
You should consult your physician for high blood pressure.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
