I have been taking medication for high blood pressure (Cilkar T and Arkmin 10 mcg) for the last 3 months, but my blood pressure is still around 170/90. How long will it take to reduce?
Blood pressure response to medication varies from person to person and depends on factors like diet, lifestyle, adherence, other medical conditions, and the type or dose of medication. Three months is usually enough to see some effect, but persistent high readings, like 170/90, suggest your current regimen may not be fully effective. Do not adjust or stop your medicines on your own. It is essential to consult your doctor promptly; they may need to reassess your treatment, check for secondary causes of high blood pressure, or adjust doses or medications to achieve the target blood pressure safely.
