I have noticed since last few days that my BP has been dropped and its coming low so i have reduced the tablet to half.

Brief Answer:
Keep watch on BP
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Your BP may be dropping due to many factors like stopping alcohol, doing regular walk and control of infection with antibiotics. Do avoid prolonged antibiotic use as they can have side effects.
There is no need to take BP lowering medicines if BP is low. Keep a regular watch on BP. If it goes higher than 150/90 then restart the medicine. If it goes less than 100/70, then increase salt intake in diet/take lemonade.
Hope it helps.
