Safely reducing medication
Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Jan 11 2009
Q: I just started high blood pressure medication few weeks ago with lopresso and now my average blood pressure is around 110/73 but I feel dizzy when I take the medicine. I just ordered the resperate and my original blood pressure falls between pre-hypertension and stage 1 hypertension. How can I safely stop/reduce the medication?
A: You need the help of your doctor to safely stop taking blood pressure medication. Make an appointment with your doctor to find out if tapering your medication would be appropriate at this time.
