Additionally, it helps protect kidney function in patients with diabetes, making it an important treatment for managing both blood pressure and kidney health.

It is important to continue using this medication regularly, even if you feel well, as stopping the medication can worsen your condition, as many people with high blood pressure may not experience symptoms.
In addition to medication, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, reducing alcohol intake, and cutting back on salt intake can further help control blood pressure.
