But after taking almost 1 month of the medication, now his BP is 87/72-measured by digital Omron monitor. Should he continue his medicine? Or lower his dose?

First of all 87/72 is wrong reading. Measure BP by manometer(Mercury). If BP is in lower side ,then take the Triolmesar in half dose.

87 by 72 is theoretically no possible.  Get it checked manually by a doctor before changing any medicine
