You can safely take the drug without any concerns. If BP is persistently on the higher side, additional drugs like hydrochlorhiazide may be required. Salt intake can be reduced to make the blood pressure to normal range. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician </s>
