Taking Repace 25mg + Seloken 25mg Together
UpdatedI underwent Angioplasty in July 2010 and one Stent was kept. My cardiologist prescribed one tablet of Seloken 25 mg daily and I am taking it regularly. However, now after checking my blood pressure my diabetic doctor also prescribed Repace 25 mg. Kindly inform me whether both the tablets are indicated for high blood pressure and whether or not I can take both medications together.

Seloken contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions.
Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.
Repace contains the active ingredient Losartan, which is an ARB that is also used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions.
The side effects are similar to those of the Metoprolol in the Seloken.
And yes, they can be used together and this is often done with people that have had a cardiac condition and high blood pressure.
Can I take Repace 25mg and Stamlo 5mg together 2 times per day to reduce my blood pressure (150/90)?
Many Thanks.
Wai,
Stamlo contains the active ingredient Amlodipine, which is a calcium channel blocker, and the Repace contains Losartan, which is an ARB.
And yes, they can be used together, if your doctor has approved it and instructed you to do so.
Different classes of blood pressure medications are often combined, when someone's levels are high, like yours, to help bring it down faster.
These medications may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach pain.
