Reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active and limiting alcohol support blood pressure control alongside this medicine.

Tell your doctor about any asthma, a slow heart rate, gout or diabetes before starting this medicine, as it can mask the warning signs of low blood sugar, and about any other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Your doctor may check your body salts and uric acid. Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Report a very slow pulse or breathlessness, and report any side effects that persist or become serious.
