Taking Exforge For Abnormal Blood Pressure. Side Effects?
I am a 57 year old male and have been taking Exforge 5/300 (1 tab) daily for several years and my BP is pretty much controlled, however, I have to go in 2 day for a physical for work and I have to have a normal blood pressure to pass I was thinking about taking 2 tabs that morning, what do u think? What would be the side effects and would it keep my blood pressure WNL for that day?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Exforge ( amlopidine + valsartan ) as this combination is very good for regulation of blood pressure .
As you mentioned in your query that you are taking this drug from many years and keeping blood pressure in control.
In my opinion use a normal dose , if you will take TWO tablet in a single dose , this may develops dizziness and palpitation .
In my opinion relax and take normal dose.
Good luck. Dr. het
