Suggest Withdrawal Medication For Adalat 60mg
All of a sudden I started experiencing dizziness and every time I get up to walk my body would pull me to the right. Went to emergency and did all kinds of tests and the doctors figured out that it was one of my medications that was doing that. Adalat 60mg. They told me to stop taking it and the problem would go away. How can you stop taking a medication that you have been taking for 30years just like that. Wouldn t my pressure sky rocket!

Hello,
I would explain that it is necessary to reduce the dose gradually, until stopping in order to avoid possible withdrawal syndrome. In the meantime, a close monitoring of your blood pressure values is necessary too. If blood pressure values rise, I would recommend adding another anti-hypertensive drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
