After starting treatment with Zofenil 7.5 mg, I have a significant drop in blood pressure, dizziness and scotomas – should I stop taking the drug?
I've been taking zophenil .7.5 for three days, mg my pressure drops to 94/49 in less than two hours. I have scotomas in front of my eyes and a heavy head. Should you stop taking this drug?. I don't take furosemide because it would be even worse, but I have to take it because it causes swelling.

Such a large drop in blood pressure (94/49 mm Hg) along with symptoms such as scotomas and a feeling of a heavy head requires urgent contact with a doctor. However, you should not stop taking the drug on your own without consultation.
Until medical advice is obtained, it is worth avoiding situations that may increase the risk of falling (getting up abruptly, driving). Do not take additional diuretics until your doctor has assessed the situation, as they may exacerbate hypotension. In case of severe symptoms (severe dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, chest pain), medical help should be sought immediately.
In the future, please remember that you should inform your attending physician about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements. This allows the specialist to assess the risk of possible interactions and select a therapy that will not only be effective, but above all safe. Open communication of such information allows you to avoid side effects and increases the effectiveness of treatment, so it is worth treating it as an important element of caring for your own health.
