<s>[INST] My medication isn’t working – what can I do? [/INST] If you are taking just one tablet and it isn’t working well or is causing you side effects, your GP may switch you to another tablet. If it is working and isn’t causing problems, but your blood pressure is not at the target level, then your GP might add a second medicine. The tablets should work better together than they do separately.It’s normal to take two or three different tablets together to get good control of blood pressure. If your blood pressure is still not well controlled, your doctor may add in other medications or try different groups of medications. It can take some trial and error.Once your blood pressure is under control, you should be able to stay on the same tablet or combination of tablets for a long time without needing to change them. Remember that changes in lifestyle, particularly eating less salt, make the tablets more effective. Source: Blood Pressure UK.
