One Response to “If you take medication which lowers blood pressure through blocking Angiotensin II receptors…?”
Doc Dan Says:
Benicar is in a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Benicar prevents the constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels (veins and arteries).
These drugs should be taken as prescribed and if you miss a dose you should take it as soon as you can. If its close to the next dose, skip the missed one and just take the next. Never double up.
If you feel you need to stop, first contact your doctor.,
Your taking it for hypertension so you will probably have to take it for the rest of your life. It’s not the end of the world. There are ways to naturally lower BP, but you need to consult your doc about these options first. If you don’t there could be serious side effects from some of these “natural” remedies.
