Benicar - High & Low Blood Pressure Message Board

Gimli · 01-04-2007, 02:45 PM

I can't remember if i took my benicar this morning or not. Its my only daily med so i don't have a pill daily container. I just take it out of the bottle. I rushed to work and i don't remember if i took one or not. I for sure don't want to take and extra dose because it makes me dizzy( i know that cuz at first they had me on double the dose and it make me feel awfull). Anyway if i didn't take it and don't take one till mornin will my bp stay low and not suddenly spike way up? Right now its 123/76. I have been taking it everyday for 2 years so its well in my system.

Hi Gimli,

I have been on Co-tenidone for many years, and have also been in the same situation as yourself......many times. (I'm not loosing my memory! Sorry, what was I saying....Oh yes) If your not sure whether you did or not, then leave well alone until tomorrow morning. One day's miss will hardly have any effect at all.
I have often taken mine every other day, no problemo!

No worries.

Thanks alot man. I just wanted to check. Even at its worst my BP isn't off the charts high but i dang sure don't want a double dose cuz that can be scary for me uno. But i figured as long as i've been taking it its well in my system and would take a few days of not taking it for it to really start spiking up.

No Problem, we are here to help others, even if we can't help ourselves.

Gimli, trust me, we have all done it at one time or another. I try to take mine at a certain time each day, yet if I get distracted will wonder, did I, or didn't I???? I know one day I finally counted them about 4 p.m. and knew I forgot to take one, but just waited till the next morning, no problem. As long as your numbers are 126/73, I'm sure U will be just fine. I don't think they come out of your system that fast, so relax and enjoy your evening......
