Is It Safe To Take One And A Half Dose Of Eritel 80?

Hi There,I am taking BP medications daily as follows:Betacard AM 75 mg, Eritel 80, Minipress 5 mg Recently I was feeling very weak with fast breathing and Pain in legs. I got my blood sugar examined, which was fine.Then my doctor asked me to stop Minipress 5 mg and increased the dose of Betacard AM from 75 mg to 100 mg and dose of Eritel 80 from One tablet to One and half tablet. But I read somewhere that Eritel 80 is the maximum dose per dayPlease advise. Regards,Balwant

hello
thanks for posting here.
you seem to be suffering from pre resistant hypertension since you are on three BP drugs. I would not prescribe my patient a dose of eritel 120 mg. I think eritel 80 mg should be the max dose. Also you are on betacard AM that too 100 mg, which is a hugh but acceptable dose. If you were my patient, my approach would have been adding tab eritel CH 80mg, provided you dont have a kidney issue. other apporach would be betacard am 100 plus eritel 80mg plus minipress 5 mg. If still not tolerating there are other medications. but surely not 80 mg 1 1/2 tablet.
Also please do a renal artery doppler and a 2 d echo to see if there is any treatable cause of resistant hypertension.
thank you
