Hello ,
As I start I would like to reassure you that none of the mentioned drugs casu we ED in nomral clinical situation.
Now amlokind L and ziram are two medication for hypertension.
Amlokind L contains a combination of amlodipine and loasatan and ziram is ramipril.
In practice Losartan and ramipril are not supposed to be taken togather as than can deteriorate your kidney function a over a period of time and can increase the potassium to dangerous levels.
So according to latest recommendation they should be avoided. You may consult your doctor about the same , so he can make necessary changes .
Rest to keep the blood pressure under 135 / 85 should be the target .
Mactor is for increase in cholesterol or other component of lipids . It may cause muscle ache which if significant, you may report to your doctor.
