What would you do?

[Mr.Chips]

Hi Guys,
I recently went to see my GP for a consultation. As a result, he prescribed medication, which I collected from the on site pharmacy. When going through the manufacturers instructions, included in the meds, I discovered that the manufacturer says the medication cannot be taken by people who have angina or who are taking beta-blockers, both of which apply to me.
I have contacted my GP and queried this with him. His response was that the medication was safe for me to take and different medication was not required.
I am finding it difficult to know what to do for the best. On one hand, I should trust my GP, on the other hand, the manufacturer would not post such a warning without good reason. Can anyone suggest a suitable way forward? Thanks for all positive responses.
Happy New Year.

Get a second opinion.

Get a second opinion for sure.

Then complain about your GP to the Practice manager if he was wrong.

Third opinion, OP already has two.

Speak to a pharmacist that isn’t related to the surgery.

A problem which arises is that the leaflet info that comes with medication can err very much on the side of caution, such that if you believed it all you'd expect to drop dead immediately and probably lose a leg or two within a day. No harm in getting a 2nd opinion though if you need reassurance.

This in the first instance.

Provide details and dose of everything you're taking and see if it raises any concerns.

You could have a look at what the BNF says for the medication: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/ although it is designed to be used my medically trained professionals so there is a degree of interpretation to be expected. Are any of the other medications listed as contra-indications in the BNF?
