Patient's question:
My grandmother had a thorough check-up last year and was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. As her granddaughter, I plan to visit her during this New Year, so I wanted to ask the doctor what kind of medication would be suitable for someone like her with high blood pressure and diabetes. Are there any good recommendations? It would be better if it would definitely not cause any side effects again.Doctor's answer:
For patients with hypertension and diabetes, oral medications should be matched one by one with additional oral medications. For hypertension, oral antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine, nimodipine, and propranolol should be taken. Oral antihypertensive drugs such as metformin, phenformin, and repaglinide should also be taken. Oral medications all have certain side effects, and depending on the severity of the individual's side effects, medications with less severe side effects can be appropriately used for oral administration.
