Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your BP is elevated although you have added cczzar 25 mg one week ago. This shows that the dose of Cozzar isn't sufficient to stabilise your BP.

If you were my patient I would increase the dose of Cozzar to 50 mg two times a day in order to control your BP.

Moreover I would ccntrol again renal and cardiac function ith the following examinations:
- Blood work including BUN and creatinine
- Cardiac echo
- Ecg
- Abdominal ultrasound

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
