Should I get any additional tests after being prescribed Arbitel for my high blood pressure?
Asked by Male, 64 · 2 months ago
You usually do not need many extra tests after starting Arbitel for high BP. A simple kidney function test, potassium level, and BP monitoring are enough to make sure the medicine suits you. If you feel dizziness, swelling, or unusual tiredness, get checked sooner.
