Is This Dosage Of Clonidine And Olmesartan Advisable For Hypertension?
Prescriptions for High blood pressure. My physician has placed me back on Clonidine HCL for hypertesnsion.Taking 1 pill three times per day! I received one prescription for 30 days supply at .10 mg! However three days later my on line pharmacy that I use with my supplemental prescription drug policy sent me Olmesartan Medoxomil (40 miligram tablets/1 per day).From my reading on line they are similar drugs to treat high blood pressure and hypertension! My question is will I be taking to much of this drug of I take the 40 mg and the three tablets of .10 mg??

Hello,
You take one of the two drugs for blood pressure. Don’t take both the drugs without consulting your doctor. Otherwise, your blood pressure will fall down drastically, and you will be in deep trouble.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. RS Gulati
