Can the Metpure/Calaptin medication be stopped when BP is 90/60?
Patient: Dear Sir, I had my MVR(star edward) in July 1998, followed by 2 TIA in 2004. Now I am on Dytor Plus, Metpure XL 25 and Calaptin 120 for last 3-4 years. For last a year or so my BP is 90/60 though I am feeling well. Shall I stop/reduce Metpure/Calaptin? I am 32 years old. Best Regards/Ravish Doctor: Hi,Advised dose adjustment. Based on the history you seem to have developed low blood pressure apparently due to a combination of various BP lowering medications. Consult your doctor for either stopping dytor plus or dose reduction of prescribed medications to control your BP.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
