How should I reduce my medicine intake for blood pressure once the blood pressure is normal? Presently, I take Telma 40 mg tablet in the afternoon every day.? Also any generic medicine for this tablet? Are generic drugs really the same quality as the name brands?

Ans: Telmisartan is the name of the medicine you are taking. You can choose any brand that you are comfortable with.
Regarding reducing the medicine, if the BP is 120/80 or below, you can reduce the medicine to half and monitor BP. If it increases, you are not ready to reduce the medicine. But if it remains the same, you can try and stop it. Continue to monitor BP. Give 2 weeks before making any changes
