Is Taking Amlozaar Safe To Control BP Level?

Hi am 38 years and my BP readings are said to be on the border line ranging from 140/90 to a time 148/ 84. I used to take amlozaar but noticed the reading were not even falling below a140/ 90 . I stopped taking the drugs and am trying to work on my weight 2hich is around 101 kg. Am asking whether its safe to stop the drugs because the readings are at the border aand hoping the would shoot down as I shed off some weight.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Yes taking Amlozaar is safe to control BP level & can be taken in long run without any side effect. You should not stop amlozaar at this borderline high Blood pressure without consulting a doctor. It would cause your BP to rise even more, which can be dangerous too.
You should try to decrease your weight, which can be reason of your increased Blood pressure. Along with it you can decrease your salt intake. you should not stop taking amlozaar till your BP reaches normal limit.

hope this information helps
