What Is The Cause For The Drop In Blood Pressure When On Maxzide?
I am taking half of maxzide 25 mg daily. I take it in the morning. around noon until 2:00 pm I feel like I could possibly pass out and my blood pressure drops to about 100/60. I also take bystolic 25 mg, benacar 40mg and multaq 400 mg 2x daily. what should I do?

Hi,
From your prescription, i believe you suffer from some cardiac arrythmia. You are on 3 different drugs for BP. (benacar,bystolic and maxzide). you are probably sensitive to maxtide as a result your blood pressure is showing evidence of excess fall.
You clearly need a ratification of prescription, for which you should consult your doctor who would possibly reduce the doses. Do not attempt to self modify them as the consequences can be bad.
All the best.
