How long to see results

by aikdak, May 18, 2009 02:56PM

Hello - I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and have been on 25 mg daily of Hydrochilorothiazide for one week and have not seen any difference in my readings. Does this medication take a while to become effective or should I contact my doctor at this point?

Thanks!
