Is it safe to switch from Metxl 25 to Muktavati for blood pressure? - #48040

Hi, Do not stop metxl 25 immediately replacing with muktavati.

You can follow the steps First Continue MetXL-25 once daily Along with. 1) muktavati - 1 tablet at night after food with water. 2) Sarpagandha ghan vati only 1 tablet at night 3) Arjun churna - ½ tsp twice daily after food with water.

Check BP daily If BP remains stable (≤130/80) Then after 2-3 week Start Mukta Vati 1 tablet twice daily & MetXL-25 at alternate days. With BP monitoring compulsory

Then after medical confirmation MetXL may be stopped gradually, not abruptly.

Also follow some diat and lifestyle precautions like Reduce salt to <3 g/day Avoid pickle, papad, packaged food Walk 20–30 min daily Sleep before 10:30 pm Avoid tea/coffee at night

IT IS GOOD THAT YOU ARE THINKING CAREFULLY BEFORE CHANGING YOUR BP MEDICINE

MUKTAVATI TABLET CAN BE USED DAILY IN MILD TO BORDERLINE ELEVATED BP AND IT IS GENERALLY SAFE WHEN TAKEN IN THE RIGHT DOSE AND WITH PROPER MONITORING

BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND ONE THING METXL 25 IS A BETA BLOCKER AND IT SHOULD NOT BE STOPPED SUDDENLY ON YOUR OWN EVEN IF YOUR BP READING IS ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGH STOPPING IT ABRUPTLY CAN CAUSE PALPITATIONS BP FLUCTUATIONS OR DISCOMFORT

IF YOU WANT TO SHIFT TOWARDS MUKTAVATI THIS SHOULD BE DONE GRADUALLY AND CAREFULLY

EXACT DOSAGE OF MUKTAVATI MUKTAVATI TABLET ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH NORMAL WATER IN SOME PEOPLE WITH VERY MILD BP ONE TABLET ONCE DAILY AT NIGHT IS ALSO SUFFICIENT BUT INITIALLY TWICE DAILY IS USUALLY ADVISED

HOW TO SHIFT SAFELY DO NOT STOP METXL 25 SUDDENLY YOU CAN START MUKTAVATI WHILE CONTINUING METXL 25 FOR A SHORT PERIOD AFTER BP REMAINS STABLE FOR AT LEAST 2 TO 3 WEEKS ONLY THEN ANY REDUCTION IN METXL SHOULD BE DONE AND THAT TOO UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION

REGULAR BP MONITORING IS A MUST CHECK BP AT HOME DAILY AT THE SAME TIME NOTE ANY DIZZINESS WEAKNESS OR PALPITATIONS

DIET AND LIFESTYLE SUPPORT IS VERY IMPORTANT REDUCE SALT TEA COFFEE AND PACKAGED FOOD WALK DAILY SLEEP ON TIME MANAGE STRESS

SINCE YOU ARE NOT HAVING ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM METXL AND YOUR BP IS ONLY SLIGHTLY ELEVATED A CAUTIOUS AND STEPWISE APPROACH IS THE SAFEST WAY
