Is it alright to take Vertizac for a month to control BP?
Patient: My grandfather is taking dutas t for BPH. He was taking CCB for BP.but he has vertigo for last 3 days.BP was checked and it was 100/60.BP medicine was discounted.he has been prescribed vertizac tablet for 1 month twice daily before food.but myself as a medico told him to take it for 15 days.give suggestions. Doctor: Hello,  Vertical is for symptomatic relief of vertigo,  so as soon as the symptoms resolve your father can surely atop the drug.  Two weeks shower more than enough,  rather if it is persistent post 2 weeks,  again a review visit to the diagnosis should be done to make sure we are not  missing anything .  Also the cause of giddiness might be the blood pressure and so stopping (though I would prefer gradual down titration)  of the meds,  should be enough.  Lastly do keep a follow up of his blood pressure reading.  Hoping I could help For further assistance you may contact  me on HCM. @ Http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-priyank-mody/70273.
