1. You can take s Numlo 2.5 if your blood pressure is controlled with it. Please maintain daily or alternate day blood pressure measurement after 30 minutes of rest at the same time of the day for a month and look if it is in normal range with the low dose medicine. If it is going above normal range then you should go back to high dose.
