The prescriptions provided to people with high blood pressure are not supplied over the counter. Before startingon the hypertension medication, the physician and affected individual hold a discussion. The actual count of the blood pressure, both diastolic and systolic is recorded to evaluate the variety of drug to be used. The general practitioner also ascertains that the medication given is free from side effects for the patient’s stage of high blood pressure. But despite these steps, the affected individual has to be ready for other side effects that might occur in some circumstances.
