You can take. Watch blood pressure closely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Blood pressure is high, you can take third clonidine.
2. However, if it does not come under control and starts to raise above 180 systolic or 110 diastolic, it is very serious, go to hospital emergency.
3. Do keep a watch on the blood pressure after medication
Any further queries, happy to help again.
