A member asked:

I started amlodipine two days ago for b.p. or 174/101. now i'm hovering at 150/99. is that effective or should i ask about lisinopril?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BP: two days is too quick to make a decision. The amlodopine will likely need a second drug added depending on what dose you are taking
