Before I took this medicine, my BP was around 140/95. I'm taking Amlodipine 5 mg with Ramipril 5 mg and Hydrochlorothazide 12.5 mg. I'm also a type 2 Diebatic and I'm taking Metformin slow release 500 my tablets. Now my BP is almost near normal. My blood sugar level is also well within limits.

Comment:
This drug, along with the Cozaar I was already taking, has brought my BP down enough to please the doctor, and I've had no ill effects, unlike the beta blocker I tried earlier this year.
