A member asked:
If i use this calcium channel blocker and anticholesterol drug, and work on my diet, exercise and lose weight can i eventually get all drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get OFF drugs?: Diet, exercise, and wt loss can lower blood pressure, cholesterol, & blood sugar. If you attain normal body mass index, exercise regularly, and avoid salt, you might be able to reduce or even stop some or all of your medications. But everyone is different and you should work with your doctor.
