Is It Possible To Discontinue The REPACE Tab After A Period Of Time?

Dear Sir
I am being treated, for last two months, for minor Hyper tension which is at initial stage ( now at 120/80 some times 110/70). My GP prescribed me REPACE 25 mg after food at dinner. For my Hemoglobin ( 12.8) I am taking HOMOCHECK Tab (Folic acid, pyridoxine, cynocobalamin). Would you please explain in what manner these medicines will work for me while controlling the BP and raise the Hemoglobin. Is it possible to discontinue the REPACE tab after a period of time say 2 or 3 months.
thank you

Hello Govind ,I have gone through your question.Repace will controlled your blood pressure.BP medicine once started should be continued life long.however you have no family history of hypertension ,if you are not over weight and smoker and if you can maintain healthy life style then take a chance to stop it after 6 months with close watch on BP If it goes up then accept it for life long.Your low hemoglobin may not be related to BP unless there is some kidney problem.so after one month of iron and vitamins if hemoglobin does not rise it needs separate work up.
My best wishes
