Comment:
I have been on a 50/25 dosage for three years. Age is 77. Blood pressure stays in the 130/90 range. After starting a beet juice and part time vegetarian regimen six months ago my bp dropped to 110/67. I still wake up three to four times a night to empty a full bladder. Also experience toe and ankle cramps. Both ankles are usually slightly swollen.

I've been on this medicine, Altenolol-Chlorthalidone 50-25, for one month. I am also taking 100 mg of Losartan, to lower my blood pressure.
