Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
see, it is a combination drug and so if you are not getting it, i would suggest you to look for TELMA H 20 which has similar composition. see, the one you are getting is of double dose and you do not require it. also, it can reduce your blood pressure to greater extent than intended. so, look for the drug i told you and discuss with your doctor for its prescription.


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
