A member asked:

Was on olmetec plus 20/12.5 dr. lowered it to olmetec 20mg my blood pressure is still the same can i just stop taking them i have good bp

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A trial with no medication would be reasonable. There's no rebound. Keep checking your BP once you're off to be sure it doesn't become uncontrolled. If so, as little as 5 or 10 mg can be used.
