Are All These Medications Necessary For A Hypertensive And Diabetic Person?
Hello, I am a 74 year old woman who was diagnosed 10 yrs ago with Diabetes type 2 and high blood pressure. I am currently taking the following medications and I have gain 20 lbs in these 10 yrs. I feel so bloated. Rosuvastatin 20 mg Valsartan 160mg Janumet 1000mg/50mg - Amlodipine 5mg - Asa EC 80mg - D-Gel 1000 - and the last 6 months Glyburide 2.5mg. Before all this I would not even take an aspirin. Is there a pill that is not necessary in all of what I listed. Tks
