Q: I am taking blood pressure medicine, Norvasc 5 mg daily once a day and my BP is 138/80. I have purchased Resperate to lower the blood pressure, but have not yet received it. Can I stop taking the Norvasc?
A: Drugs for high blood pressure should only be stopped under the direction of your doctor. Regular use of the RESPeRATE may allow you to stop taking Norvasc but you need to discuss this with your doctor after you have successfully used the device regularly for at least 4 weeks.
Please Note: RESPeRATE users – do not reduce your blood pressure medication without first consulting with your health care professional.
