Hello, Celesta mine contains dexamethasone as one of its component. . This per se may increase the blood pressure by different mechanism, one being water retention. As you are already taking 25 mg water pill, I would not consider increasing its dose, When you stop with celesta mine, The blood pressure would come back to normal and the extra fluid would get flushed. Till than for maintaining blood pressure to normal and extra 1/ 2 or full according to need of Atacama should be helpful. . Regards
