Surprisingly I get hypertension only during the winters and is around 140-160 -- 90-110. I then stopped taking the meds after winters. Someone told me that we have to take these meds for life. Could you please suggest me what to do now as I have not taken these regularly and also would like to know what exactly do these meds do in the body. Answer Hi Nitin B, I am not familiar with the drug Amlopres-L (you must be living out of the US). If diagnosed with hypertension, you should be on meds until direccted otherwise by your doctor. As for what Amlopres-L does to the body, I would and will tell you if I know what kind of drug it is. Add to this Answer Ask a Question | |
