Should I Continue BP Medication Even After Having Normal BP?

I have been diagnosed with BP 160/98. I have been advised by the doctor to take Stamlo 5, 1 tablet everday. I have started taking that from today. My question is that even if my BP comes to normal level, then is it necessary to continue medication throughout?

Hi,
When your blood pressure comes to normal level, there will be a need to continue the medication anyway. It will regulate your blood pressure and will not allow it to increase.
Anyway you should check your blood pressure from time to time after regulation, as sometimes there is a need to increase or decrease the dose.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
