A member asked:
Is it harmful for my 14 year old son with hypertension to take different medications for it every week for 6 weeks to see which one works best for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension: I hope your son has been evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist and/or pediatric nephrologist to determine the cause of his hypertension. Changing medication weekly is not helpful because some medication take longer than a week to start working.
