Question
Hello doctor,
I am taking 1 tablet of Coversyl plus 1 a day to treat essential blood pressure. The doctor asked me, can I reduce the dose of my blood pressure medication by myself? Can I cut the pill in half and take half a day? Thank you very much doctor!

Hello friend,
With the question "Can I reduce the dose of blood pressure medication by myself?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you are taking Coversyl plus and your blood pressure is still within the normal range, you should maintain it. Maintain the same dose of medication. If you want to reduce your dose, you should check with your doctor to adjust the dose accordingly. In addition, because Coversyl has the effect of increasing blood potassium, patients should limit potassium-rich foods such as bananas, okra, cruciferous vegetables, asparagus, etc. Coffee, alcohol should not be used. , nicotine from the drug to have the best treatment effect with Coversyl blood pressure drug.
If you still have questions about blood pressure, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to check and advise you more. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
