Recently, a friend asked me in a private chat: My blood pressure has been well controlled recently, can I take antihypertensive medication once every two days? I replied in the affirmative: this is absolutely not allowed, just like the danger of reducing the dosage of antihypertensive drugs without authorization, but also less than the danger of taking drugs intermittently; on the one hand, because this interval taking, it is easy to make the time of taking drugs uncertain, easy to forget to take drugs; more terrible is that this way to take antihypertensive drugs, will make blood pressure more likely to fluctuate, leading to unpredictable consequences. Most of the hypertension drugs on the market today are long-acting preparations, and the drugs are effective in the body for a longer period of time, but this length is not infinite, if you take the drug every other day, the day you don’t take the drug will disappear because of the concentration of the drug, and the blood pressure will rise. Hypertension patients have no greater headache than having to take antihypertensive drugs every day, especially because many people do not take antihypertensive drugs also did not discomfort, which leads to most hypertensive people are reluctant to take drugs, but they do not understand that in the clinical hypertension itself harm is nothing, it is more of a decoy, is likely to cause other dangerous diseases, more likely no symptomatic response. As one of the most common chronic diseases by far, there are more people suffering from it, but that doesn’t mean: hypertension is a minor disease! Some people are worried about the side effects of one antihypertensive drug for a long time, so they ask to change it. This is a wrong perception, in fact, there is no need to worry about it – the side effects of antihypertensive drugs generally appear within a few weeks to a few months of use, if you have used for several years without side effects, that can be well tolerated, as long as the blood pressure control is satisfactory, there is no need to change the drug. This chronic disease must be clearly understood, adhere to the regular medication like eating every day, do not think about the problem of stopping the medication, if the blood pressure is normal, that you eat the right medication, continue to take this medication, maintain, unless after the allopathic treatment, lifting the causative foci, back to normal, otherwise it is strictly prohibited to stop the medication, which is a disregard for life and irresponsible.
