I understand how concerning it is to adjust your heart medications, but it is very wise to follow your specialist's advice to stop Olmesar. Some people experience gut issues with olmesartan. Since you are already taking Amlogard (amlodipine), your doctor may suggest replacing Olmesar with a different class of blood pressure medicine, such as an ACE inhibitor (like lisinopril) or a different angiotensin receptor blocker (like telmisartan) that does not carry the same risk of gut irritation. Please continue taking your Amlogard 5 mg as prescribed, and consult your primary doctor or cardiologist promptly so they can safely prescribe the right alternative for you.
