A member asked:
My doctor said my bp was consistant enough to stop losartan 100 mg while i did accupuncture for bp. would cutting down to 50mg/day provide benefit?

Take daily BP: at home morning and night. Then, acupuncture is very calming, and helps balance the heart meridian & others. After acupuncture, remeasure it.The effects of acupuncture lasts 2 days, so try going every other day at the lower dose, while keeping it at the same normal dose on the other days.See if your BP remains stable for a few weeks.Then, if so, try it at the 50 mg dose daily & Ck back with UR MD!

Acupuncture: Although you have been provided some sensible advice - I usually recommend discussing this with your medical provider before making any changes to medication regimen.
