•Mr. Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr. is seeing you in clinic today for follow-up. He holds a history of HTN and is taking 2 blood pressure medications to keep it well-controlled. He is struggling to remember to take both medications every day and is hoping you can help simplify his regimen. His regimen has been well controlled on both medications.
.
•Medications:
•Amlodipine 5mg
•Benazepril 20mg
.
•Simplifying a medication regimen can be challenging (and your options limited). Removing unnecessary medications is an option; however, in this case, the patient is well controlled on his drug regimen. There might be a combination medication where 2 pills become 1, and both medications can still be used.
.
•Go to GoodRx.com
•Type one of his medications into the list and look for options separated by “/” (example XYZ/ABC). This is a combination pill, and might be helpful.
