BP blood pressure medicine

2025-08-21 07:35:14
71 yrs. High BP fluctuates between 150/90 up and 130/80 and is not controlled on Carvedilol 3.125 mg twice a day alone.  Should dose be increased or what additional safe drug can be given keeping the current carvedilol continued? Patient has compensated liver cirrhosis and carvedilol needs to be continued. Can a diuretic be added to current med in view of occassional pedal edema?
