Question by Nabendu - Mar 29, 2023Hindi

Health

I am 65. My BP hovering around 140 - 150 / 78 - 85. I take Telma- Beta 25 Tablet in the morning after breakfast & 1 tablet Cilakar 20 at night as prescribed and advised by my physician for the last 3years. Any suggestion please. I have no other complication.

Ans: You might need to either increase the dose of Telma Beta to twice daily or add another drug called a diuretic. Ideally your BP needs to be consisitently below 140. Even if you do not have any complication now it is important to keep the BP under control to prevent long term complications (Strokes, kidney disease, heart attack, etc)
