Is It Safe To Take BP And Diabetes Medicines At The Same Time?

I took my blood pressure meds this morning as I usually do. I am also on diabetic meds which I take 2 times daily. I just grabbed all 3 and took now. Diabetic pill should have been the only one. Will the bp meds cause problems since I took a double dose today?

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the simultaneous intake of blood pressure and diabetes tablet does not pause any interaction. However, certain points to be noted here:
- If the diabetes medicine is taken without breakfast or meals, there are chances of getting blood sugar level low
- If the double dose is taken by mistake, additional food intake is recommended to prevent hypoglycemia

In case of any following symptoms, contact 911 immediately:
- Dry mouth
- Perspiration
- Fine tremors or vertigo
- Spinning
-Gabhraman

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
