Question

My mom's blood pressure spiked to 170100, and the doctor suggested she take Telma 40 mg once daily. It's already been five days, but her BP hasn't budged. Should I think about checking back in with the doctor for a medication switch, or is it normal for the meds to take a bit longer to work?

Question

I'm currently taking Inbloc 5mg twice a day since 2014 for my high BP and haven't been given an end date for it. I'm wondering if there's any way I can manage my high blood pressure without relying on medication like this forever. Also, I'm curious if I can switch to another medication like Nelovin Forte 5mg, C UDP, or Cilday 5mg instead of Inbloc. What are your thoughts?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. It was moderately high a month ago, and now I'm taking Natrilix, 1.5 mg Indapamide. Is it safe for me to have a can of beer every six months, or should I be concerned? I came across some stuff online that's got me scared, and my doctor is currently out of the country.

Question

I'm trying to find a 7.5 mg tablet of Warf for my brother but no pharmacy seems to have it. Is it okay if he takes a 5 mg and a 2 mg tablet together instead? I'm not sure what to do, and it's a bit worrying. Can you help?
