It has been six months since I started taking Lervasc and my blood pressure is under control. Can I stop taking it now?
No, continue taking Lervasc even if you feel better and your blood pressure is under control. Sudden discontinuation of Lervasc may increase your blood pressure, and your chances of stroke or heart attack may rise. Usually, once you start taking any medicine for controlling blood pressure, you have to continue taking it a life long unless you cannot tolerate it.
