Omitting Amlodipine
UpdatedI am 55 and for last 1 year I have been taking Telma 40 and Amlodact 5 in the morning Atorva 5 at night. Now I am to face acute knee problem that benumbed me and prevents smooth walking, A friend of mine advises me to take Cal Mag D and stop Amlodac 5. Can I stop it and opt for some other medication? My blood right now is 146/86.

Hello, Professor B! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.
However no, you shouldn't stop taking any of your prescribed medications, unless your doctor instructs you to do so.
The Cal Mag D is just a nutritional supplement and if it's okay with your doctor for you to take it, there would be no reason to stop a medication due to taking it, anyway.
Have you consulted your doctor, yet?
