I am a regular customer at Vinmec at 2 Tran Cao Van - District 1 - TP. HCM. The last visit was more than 1 month (about over 35 days), at the time of examination, the blood pressure was 145/100, the blood fat (triglycerede) was 5.5), the doctor advised and gave 2 drugs: Blood pressure and blood fat, oral dose. 3 months (90 tablets - 1 tablet per day/type). However, I have been taking it for more than 1 month now, my blood pressure has stabilized at approximately 127/89, can I stop taking the medicine with my blood pressure at 127/89?

Hello! Congratulations on finding a suitable blood pressure medication. You should maintain regular blood pressure medication continuously to get a safe normal blood pressure level, avoid dangerous complications such as stroke, heart failure... Moreover, his diastolic blood pressure is still slightly high (89). You should periodically go to the doctor by appointment so that your doctor can assess your condition over time and adjust your treatment, not stop taking it yourself.
