Hello,

First of all, these drugs are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure.

Amlong-H contains a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) and a diuretic or 'water pill' hydrochlorothiazide.

Olways (telmisartan) is an angiotensin receptor blocker. Whereas Tazloc-AM contains both telmisartan and amlodipine both of which help to control high blood pressure.

It lowers the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
