Is There An Adjustment Period When Medicines Are Changed?

I was recently switched from bystolic to metoprolol tartrate due to a flux in insurance and reduced cost. Used to control blood pressure which has been benign ... now there is a flux with the m.t. they increased dose from 12.5 bid to 25 bid.... Is there an adjustment period? Should I be concerned?

Hi, i have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. but there is a adjustment period to set the dose of antihypertensive. Or switch from one group to othercgroup. You need to check it for sometime to set the dosage. So no need to worry. Once your blood pressure become stable with some dose. It will be fixed. Then also you should go for checking your blood pressure monthly according to your doctor's advice. So just follow the drug and dose. And go for regular check up.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have any further questions or queries you can ask me for that. i will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. wish you a very good health.
