Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
old. so till now i have hypertension 4 years ago. Now a doctor in my country advised me to take Anapril 5 mg everyday on the morning. the question are 1. Can i stop taking Anapril 5 mg ? because the side effect of this drug is damage kidney, so i afraid that if i used it long time my kidney will suffer with problem. 2. Can i control my blood pressure in stable without using Anapril?
1. Enalapril 5 mg can't be stopped abruptly. We should evaluate your blood pressure oscillations first. You can send the first results when you first diagnosed with high blood pressure. We need to compare with your current blood pressure (bp) results. If we note improvement, then, we will recommend lower doses, but never stopping abruptly. You'll find yourself in hypertension crisis that might be fatal.
2. Meanwhile, you should take some measurements to keep your bp stable: - avoid salty/high calories/fried foods - avoid caffeinated/alcoholic drinks - try to control stress - taking garlic mixture with honey and lemon in an empty stomach can also be helpful - sometimes parsley infusion taken once daily can help
Hope I answered your queries. Let me know if you have any other concern.
