High blood pressure medicines:-Are these to taken for life?Safe to stop if pressure is normal?Thanks?

Your MD and/or office nurse should have told you this. Also, look for the side effects listed on the nomograph tha comes from the phamacy. Report these immediately to your MD. Sometimes you need to tweak these meds and to remain successful on them, you need to follow the literature closely.
