Brief Answer:
The dose may be not enough to regulate the blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The dose may not be enough to regulate your blood pressure. If you take the medication for a week and still have high blood pressure, then you should talk to your doctor to increase the dose of the medication or add another medication.

Take care
