Remember that this medicine will not cure your high blood pressure, but it does help control it. It is very important that you take your medicine exactly as directed and that you keep your appointments with your doctor even if you feel well. Many patients who have high blood pressure will not notice any signs of the problem. You should first check with your doctor before changing your diet. Your doctor will tell you which of these are most important for you. In addition to the use of this medicine, treatment for your high blood pressure may include weight control and changes in the types of food you eat, especially foods high in sodium (salt).
