General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Yes, amlodac and metoprolol are good medications for high blood pressure. The most important thing about high blood medications is that they need to be evaluated to make sure that they are working great for the patient as different patients respond differently to these drugs. I will advice that you take them as prsecribed, drop excess weight, exercise often, stop smoking if you do, eat healthy, reduce your daily salt intake and avoid alcohol for best results.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications should need be.
