Her blood pressure is normally around 110/69. and sometimes 130/80.

both Arjuna and Parthadyarishtha are cardiac tonics with overlapping action. If Arjuna is being taken and is giving good BP control without side effects, it is sufficient on its own. Parthadyarishtha can usually be discontinued to avoid duplication and unnecessary medicine load, especially in elderly patients. —Arjuna may be continued long term in a low, regular dose –continue only Arjuna, stop Parthadyarishtha. -tab arjuna 250 mg once daily or if in powder form 3 g powder once daily

At age 69, with stable BP and good cardiac status, it is safe to continue Arjuna, but taking both Arjuna tablet + Parthadyarishtha together is usually not necessary long-term. Best Approach: Choose one main cardiac support Arjuna (Tablet/Churna) → better for long-term daily use Parthadyarishtha → useful short-term, but contains sugar (not ideal long-term in elderly) Recommended Plan: Continue Arjuna only Dose: 1 tablet (500 mg approx.) twice daily after meals Gradually taper and stop Parthadyarishtha over 1–2 weeks (do not stop abruptly) Duration: Arjuna can be safely taken long-term (3–6 months or more) under supervision Important Points: Since BP is mostly normal (110/69–130/80), avoid overmedication Monitor potassium & kidney function regularly Continue BP tablet only when required (as advised) Regards Dr Shashank Aggarwal Ayurveda consultant

You don’t need to take both Arjuna tablet + Parthadyarishtha together long-term. They have similar action (cardiac support), so taking both adds to pill burden without much extra benefit. Best approach (simplify safely): Choose ONE option: Option 1 (simpler): Arjuna tablet – 1 tablet twice daily after food 👉 Better for long-term use, easy to continue, no sugar content Option 2: Parthadyarishtha – 15 ml with equal water after lunch/dinner 👉 Avoid if sugar control or potassium issues are a concern In your case (age 69 + kidney + multiple meds): 👉 Prefer Arjuna tablet only 👉 Stop Parthadyarishtha gradually (no need for abrupt stop issues) Duration: Can be continued 3–6 months, then review Safe for longer use under guidance Important points: BP (110/69–130/80) is already well controlled → no need to overmedicate Continue BP tablet only if doctor advises (do not self-adjust frequently) Too many Ayurvedic + allopathic medicines together → unnecessary load Keep it simple: Arjuna tablet Continue kidney medicines as advised Regular BP monitoring If any symptoms like dizziness, low BP, or weakness appear → review medicines. Simple regimen = safer and more effective at this age Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

It’s not ideal to keep taking both Arjuna and Parthadyarishtha together long-term, especially at age 69 with kidney concerns and multiple medicines. One well-chosen option is usually enough. 👉Arjuna Known for: mild cardioprotective effect, BP support, heart muscle strength. 👉Parthadyarishtha Multi-herb fermented tonic. 👉 Taking both together = overlapping action + unnecessary complexity. Choose ONE, not both Prefer Arjuna alone for long-term support Gradually taper off Parthadyarishtha. Continue for 2–3 months, then reassess But take a review break every 3 months or take a proper consultation after 3 months. Dr. Muskan Chopra Ayurvedacharyaa

Both Parthadyarishta and Arjuna are cardiac-supportive; using both may be unnecessary duplication. Continue Arjuna only 1 tablet once daily after breakfast for maintenance Continue 3 months, then reassess BP, symptoms, kidney profile. Parthadyarishta: Can be stopped gradually or discontinued if continuing Arjuna. Usually both are not required together.

You should continue only Arjuna and discontinue Parthadyarishta to reduce the medicine burden. Als you are not facing any major issue reduce Arjuna to only 1 tablet a day. Important Considerations -Kidney Health: Since she has slightly high potassium and is taking kidney supplements like Punarnasava and Gokshuradi Guggulu, simplifying the regimen is safer for renal function. -Blood Pressure: Her BP (110/69 to 130/80) is currently well-controlled. Over-medicating with multiple cardiac tonics could potentially lead to hypotension (low BP).
