Hello,
Keep track of her bp before medication and one hour of medication for a whole week.
Consult then, and Depending on the pattern, dose of medication can be adjusted accordingly.

Keep a record of Blood pressure readings. If it remains below 130/80 most of the times then can think of reducing dose or even stopping the medication...!!
