Blood tests to get blood pressure meds Posted: 02-04-08 18:28pm


I have been taking the same blood pressure medicine for 7 years now. (Inderal). The doctor that has been prescribing it to me is no longer available. Any other doctor, including my ob/gyn won't refill my prescription without blood work. I have never had to have blood work before. It has been working all these years, why do I need tests now? I don't have insurance, so I'm a little irritated about having to pay extra just to get the same thing I've been taking for so long, with no problems.

I guess the new doctors want to insure them selfs that you aren't suffering from some conditions that are contraindications for Inderal. Blood tests will give them informations about your liver, kidney, thyroid functions which are important to know if taking Inderal will be safe.
