Is it permissible to stop taking blood pressure medications if the readings are normal?

This question is answered by the Health Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which clarified that about what is frequently rumored on social media about the possibility of pressure patients to stop taking blood pressure medications if their blood pressure readings are normal, it is dangerous for the patient.

The council added that if the blood pressure readings are normal during the use of the treatment, this means that it is effective and the blood pressure is regular due to its use of the treatment, so what is reported about stopping taking the drug is “common,” noting that this disease is considered a chronic disease and leaving treatment. It may cause serious complications.

He pointed out that stopping treatment without consulting a specialist should be avoided, and reducing doses should be by consulting a doctor according to the assessment of the case.
