<s>[INST] Hello doctorThis is siddesh, I would like to have a suggestion regarding my mothers conditions. She is recently been diagnosed with NIDDM and she was prescribed zitamet ( 50mg of sitagliptin + 500 mg of Metformin). After a couple of months, one  of her knee (right) started to show pain.  But, after few more weeks, she felt normal again. When we informed this symptoms to the physician, he advice to follow up some blood test. Based on the report, he said, nothing to worry. Later the whole blood analysis reveled her triglycerides and total cholesterol level were higher than above normal levels, and now she is prescribed with statins. Now, she is showing a sign of high blood pressure and her BP is 160/90.   The physician, who was looking after my mother is left the town and moved to another city. which is literally  for away from my home town. Could you please suggest which medication is suitable in her condition. Please help me. [/INST] Hello Sides, Your mother can continue taking medications for diabetes and cholesterol. For high blood pressure she can start using Telmisartan 40 mg once daily.It's important for her to take the medications regularly. Restrict salt. Must get her sugar levels and blood pressure checked regularly. Hope my advice was helpful to you, and you can follow up with the test results. I wish your mother good health </s>
