Dear sir
Usually for the control of hypertension we follow single, dual and tripple drug strategies. If blood pressure is not controlled with single drug then there is no point in increasing the dosage.
Add another group of drug, starting with low dosage, the group of drug might be from calcium channel blocker or a beta blocker depending upon heart rate and other factors. Dont worry.
Thanks
