Well,...: Always best to get an exam and be sure of a prescription products full risk benefit profile as discussed by a physician. That medication may work, and was first developed as a blood pressure agent, so if any open sores, etc, there is the chance of Lowering the blood pressure, etc. All in all though, it is relatively safe.
