How long do you have to be on blood pressure pill before it goes down...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Some medications work very quickly and others take a few days. In general you should see an effect in three to five days. If your blood pressure has not improved after a week of therapy you should contact your health care professional for reevaluation.
