How dose a patient take antihypertensive drugs?

Before measuring blood pressure, we should first clarify whether the patient has taken antihypertensive drugs. If taking antihypertensive drugs, we should pay attention to the following points:

(1) For those who can discontinue antihypertensive medications, the guidelines recommend that blood pressure be measured after close observation of patients who have discontinued medication for more than five half-lives.

(2) To understand the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure should be measured according to the peak and trough time of antihypertensive drugs, and generally the trough time of antihypertensive drugs should be measured. To determine whether the measured blood pressure is at the trough or peak level of the drug, the duration of the antihypertensive medication may be indicated.
