Hello, I have been suffering from hypertension for 10 years and since then I have been taking bisocard and axtil 5mg for several weeks I have very high and jumping pressure. (up to 190 "100) and a feeling of fainting. Today in the emergency room, the doctor prescribed me egiramlon and advised me to take it instead of axtil. I've had vascular dizziness for years. After reading the leaflet I am afraid to take this drug.. Because it has a lot of side effects. Please advise.

A situation in which a hypertensive patient does not achieve the therapeutic goal and the patient still has too high pressure despite the use of drugs is an indication for changing or intensifying treatment. The doctor decides whether to change the doses of medicines already used, change medications or add an additional drug. The reaction is necessary because too high blood pressure can be dangerous to health. So far, you have taken bisoprolol (Bisocard) and ramipril (Axtil). Egiramlon contains two active substances: ramipril and amlodipine. As a rule, the change in your therapy would therefore consist in adding amlodipine to the treatment. Ramipril will continue to be taken, but as a combination medicine. Any medication can - but does not have to - cause side effects. Not everyone will experience them. It is impossible to predict in advance whether and what side effects will appear in a particular patient. Dizziness is a possible side effect of Egiramlon, as can the medicine you are already taking Axtil. Dizziness is more likely to occur at the beginning of taking Egiramlon or after increasing the dose: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-bac-sie-dzialan-niepozadanych-lekow If you have doubts whether the drug has been chosen correctly, you would like to talk additionally about contraindications, concerns or dizziness - you can consult another specialist: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I also enclose additional information about the drug Egiramlon: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/26327/egiramlon-5-mg-5-mg-kapsulki/apteki and our studies on hypertension that may be of interest to you: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/nadcisnienie https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-nadcisnienie Below you will find an article on dizziness: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/zawroty-glowy-jakie-sa-ich-przyczyny-i-co-moze-pomoc
