Suggest Alternative Medication For High BP

I am normally on the generic for Avapro. I seem to have lost my recently filled bottle. My current bp is 136/106. I can t make it to the dr until the morning. It is currently 10:46 pm. Is there something I can do to get it to come down some until I am able to get to the dr tomorrow?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would recommend taking 1 tablet Captopril or Nifedipine if you have any of these drugs at home. Anyway, if you can not use any other drugs, I would recommend taking a glass of lemon juice and try to avoid physical activity.

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