Patient's question:
The elderly person in my family has pulmonary heart disease, and the doctor prescribed tablets containing Irbesartan and Trimetazidine. Today, their blood pressure was particularly low, so I consulted the doctor and they added Huangqi Jing oral liquid for them. Why is it said that this medicine may interact with many other drugs? Does this medicine conflict with other medications?Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition is high blood pressure. After taking irbesartan orally, the blood pressure decreased, which may be due to an excessively high blood pressure measurement. It is recommended to appropriately increase the dosage of antihypertensive medication, or to stop taking the antihypertensive medication and wait for the blood pressure to return to normal before resuming it. If the blood pressure is too low, oral Astragalus Root Oral Liquid can be used to raise it. During medication, antihypertensive drugs should not be taken, as they have the opposite effect to Astragalus Root Capsules.In daily life, it is important to follow a low-fat, low-sodium diet, drink plenty of water, engage in adequate physical activity, avoid overexertion and mental stress, prevent emotional excitement, avoid staying up too late, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Regular blood pressure checks should be conducted to maintain normal blood pressure control.
