Blood pressure
Is it advisable to take blood pressure medicine (Eslo 2.5mg) once a week?
Normally my mother's blood pressure is in range of 130-135/90! Doctor advised to take Eslo 2.5 mg ONLY WHEN BLOOD PRESSURE IS MORE THAN 140/90! Today after 1 week, again my mother blood pressure is more than 140/90, so I have given her medicine! Will it create any problem, by giving bp medicine at irregular interval after 5-7 days!

BP medicine is not given on SOS basis. It is routinely given in whatever dose is prescribed by the Doctor.
Next Steps
Please keep a record of her BP for one week. After that you can consult a General Physician on Practo with the record.
