Hi
Among contains AMLODIPINE
the same is a good first line antihypertensive
( side effects include leg swelling)
U can also take ramipril ( 5mg to start with) or if troublesome cough develops, change to TELMISARTAN ( 40 mg to start with)
But a lot of things has to b considered before selecting an antihypertensive drug.
So consult your doctor before starting a new drug
Thank you
