Hello ,
Celestamine contains betamethasone as one of its component. .This per say may increase the blood pressure by different mechanism, one being water retention .
As you are already taking 25 mg water pill , I would not consider increasing its dose , When you stop with celestamine, The blood pressure would come back to normal and the extra fluid would get flushed .
Till than for maintaining blood pressure to normal and extra 1/ 2 or full according to need of atacand should be helpful. .
Regards Dr. Mody
