Brief Answer:
That's the approach. What are you current readings?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

The goal of blood pressure management is to get the values below 140/90mmHg. If the values remain high, the best approach is to increase the dosage to reach the maximum and or add other medications. I will like to know what the current blood pressure readings are. This way, I might be able to provide more insights.

I hope to hear from you on this before concluding further.
