Talk to Internal Medicine on Blood Pressure
Asking For Someone else, Husband, Male, 39 Years old, lahore
I am Male 39 Y
I am taking Valam 5/80 medicine on daily basis due to high BP 100/140. I am taking it from last 3 months. Now bp is good 80/120
1. Do i have to take it for life time ?
2. Can i take it 3 times a week or alternate days?
3. Is there any other remedy that, i can address this issue without medicine
I am afraid of side effects of taking the medicine on daily basis and for so long.

This is high dose for someone with 39yrs age .ideally it should be one tablet . Valam contains combination (basically it means inside one tablet there are two tablets) it will give lot of side effects. One tablet is enough but it should contain one drug.once blood pressure starts to remain high then cause of blood pressure need to be explored first and sometimes treating the cause will resolve the issue otherwise one has to take treatment for rest of their lives . You can book appointment then I will go through history and some investigations if needed and advise a plan for further management . Thanks
