Bisoporol 1.25mg

[Hsb45]

Does anybody take bisoporol for high blood pressure? My doctor has put me on 1.25mg dose but looking online this is a very small amount and I'm not convinced it's going to do much.

Any experiences please?

I take 16mgs Candersartan for BP and 1.25mgs Bisoporol for AFib. It seems to work for me. Was on Ramapril but developed "the cough" and for a long time just Amlodiphine but I developed swollen and aching legs.

Hi,

I was started the same and then doubled 2 weeks later and then put on 5 mg after another 2 weeks. Been on 5 mg for over a year now with good results

Hi yes they work, even at 1.25.

are you taking your bp at home? If yes, take your pressure each day for a week and see how it is (to take pressure remember to rest for ten minutes with the cuff on and keep eyes closed while the machine is working, if it’s a bit high take it again).

If not, I expect your doc has asked you to come back to the surgery to get your pressures done, then you can talk to a nurse about your individual circumstances

I imagine the doc has already gone down the “diet and lifestyle” route with you, but as docs dont have much time it would be wise, I think, to read the website of the specialist charity Blood Pressure UK. Here you get advice on what you yourself should be doing.
