Hi, Thanks for your question. I want to know -- Your age and gender. - Any associated conditions like diabetes, heart disease. - Current Blood pressure levels. Tab Candace contains April. It not only used for high blood pressure, but it also has beneficial effects on heart and Kidney. - It prevents or slows the process of cardiac remodeling (Effect of blood pressure on heart structure). - It prevents or slows the process of nephropathy. (effect of blood pressure and diabetes on kidney). Side effects of April - - Usually April is well tolerated. - As you are taking it for almost 10 years without any side effects, there are less chance of developing side effects now. - It is recommended to monitor Serum potassium level when on April. So it will be better to discuss regarding increase in dose with your treating physician whether it is because uncontrolled blood pressure or for protection of heart and Kidney. Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
