10 Year Old Suffering From ADHD And Blood Pressure Is 88/57. Is The BP Too Low And What Medicines Should Be Given ?
My 10 year old son started taking intuniv last night for his ADHD . His Blood pressure has dropped to 88/57. Is this too low and should we give him the next dose, or stop him on it??
Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The first dose of any anti hypertensives is known to cause a mild hypotension that is, a fall in blood pressure. If your child is not feeling dizzy then you can continue his treatment without worrying. If such episodes are repeated after 4-5 doses then consult your physician for reduction in its doses.
