Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details. The bp readings mentioned are in no way alarming to add another drug. She is already on telmisartan with chlorthiazide. There is no point in adding olmisartan both are belonging to same class of drugs. You consult the physician and find out if dosage of telmisartan can be increased by another 20 mg. Thanks.
