Can I take Adizem and Telmisartan together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways. Adizem relaxes blood vessels and slows the heart rate, while telmisartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking a specific hormone. When used together, their effects add up (an additive effect), which can sometimes lower blood pressure too much.

You can take these medicines together, but you should be monitored by your doctor. It is a good idea to check your blood pressure regularly at home. If you feel very dizzy, tired, or notice your heart beating very slowly, contact your GP. To avoid dizziness, try to stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.
