Please do not stop taking your blood pressure medications, Amodep AT (amlodipine/atenolol) and Telmikind 40 (telmisartan), around the time of your COVID-19 vaccination. It is completely safe to continue them, and there are no harmful interactions between these medicines and the vaccine. Keeping your blood pressure well-controlled is very important for your safety. Additionally, stopping a medication like Amodep AT suddenly can cause a risky rebound spike in your blood pressure and heart rate. Please continue taking your prescribed doses exactly as usual on the day of your vaccination.
