Can This Dosage Of Benicar And Norvasc Advisable For High BP?

I take two blood pressure medications. Benicar 40 mg and norvasc 5mg. I cannot remember if I took it tonight. Should I wait until tomorrow night? I don t want to double dose, but even with both medications, my blood pressure runs slightly higher. 135/140 over 80 normally. I m worried if I didn t take it that it will go too high.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values in the next hours.

If your blood pressure values raise, I would recommend taking another 5mg of amlodipine.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
