I am 65yrs old and i am on asomex 2.5mg and advantec tab 12.5 mg daily. In fact i take HALF OF EACH TAB IN THE EVENING after meals and my bp is 130/80. I have been taking these tablets for the past 4yrs when my bp was 220/120. I had ecg done by my treating Dr n it reveals no abnormality. The reason i take half of these tablets is that it gave me dizziness when i take the full dose.

Koomar, have you consulted your doctor about the dizziness?

The Advantec contains Candesartan, which is an ARB and both it and the Amlodipine in the Asomex can cause dizziness as a side effect.

However, there are other things that could cause it, as well.

Have you ever checked your blood pressure at the times you got dizzy?

I (72 years) take Asomax 2.5 one tablet daily after breakfast for last 3 years. About the same time I started getting chornic attacks of running nose. Doctors call it allergic; but I suspect that it may be a side effect of Asomax.
Can these two things be connected? What alternative to Asomax should I try to make sure?
