Are my 67-year-old mother's blood pressure readings okay, especially since they seem a bit high in the morning after stopping Tazloc 40 at night while still taking Cilacart in the morning?
It is very common to see a rise in morning blood pressure after stopping a nighttime medication like Tazloc (telmisartan), even while continuing Cilacart (cilnidipine) in the morning. Stopping a blood pressure medication can reduce overnight control, leading to higher readings when she wakes up. Please be reassured that this is a manageable issue. I highly recommend sharing these morning readings with her doctor. They can safely evaluate her overall trends and decide whether to adjust her morning dose or restart a night time treatment to keep her safely protected.
