Hi Jeanne-the amount?
Hi Jeanne-the amount of blood pressure medications and the specific combination prescribed is based upon multiple factors. These include coexisting medical problems, other medications and potential interactions, severity of the high blood pressure, response to blood pressure medications, and side effects. Sometimes, several medications may be necessary to control high blood pressure-this might be because one medication didn't work well enough or perhaps due to a side effect or difficulty tolerating the medication. In your case, you are on three medications for blood pressure (labetalol, doxazoxin, amlodipine) and a diuretic (spironolactone). Diuretics are sometimes used for blood pressure, and the blood pressure medications you are taking are of three separate classes, which is appropriate, but I can't say much more about the specifics. Your doctor has chosen your specific combination of medications taking into consideration all the factors I mentioned above. The other medicines (Zettia, lexapro, and vitamin D), do not treat high blood pressure. Your doctor can explain his or her reasoning for the prescribed blood pressure regimen.
