My father's blood pressure is running very high at 185/50 to 188/44 despite taking Concor Plus and Tazloc 80?should we increase his dosage or switch to a different blood pressure medicine?
A systolic pressure of 185?188 mmHg requires prompt medical attention. Please do not alter his doses of Tazloc 80 (telmisartan) or Concor Plus (bisoprolol/hydrochlorothiazide) without consulting his doctor. His readings show a very wide gap between the top and bottom numbers, which requires careful medication tailoring. His doctor may adjust his current regimen or introduce a different class of medicine. Please contact his doctor promptly for an evaluation. If he experiences chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches, seek emergency care immediately.
