Blood pressure medicines are meant to protect the heart. But not every pill suits every body. Some old-generation or wrongly prescribed medicines can quietly strain the kidneys, trigger mood changes, or disturb the heart rhythm. As Dr Sunil Rana from Asian Hospital warns, “Many patients start taking old prescriptions or medicines recommended by relatives, which can be risky.”
Blood pressure is not just a number. It’s the body’s way of communicating how well the heart and vessels are coping with life’s pressure. And the medicine that works for one person may cause harm to another. So, knowing what’s inside the tablet is not a detail, it’s a safeguard.
