My mother has been taking Losar A tablet for High Bp from many years as prescribed. Can Angicam LT be taken instead of Losar A for the same? And does she really need prescription for that?

Your mother can take Angicam LT in place of Losar A as both have the same salts. Eventhough you donot need prescription for that, it will better if you have a cardiologist you are in touch with so that she can be reviewed from time to time in terms of medications and her response to them.
