Prinzide Dosing

For most people who are treating high blood pressure with Prinzide, dosing recommendations generally involve a daily dose of 10 mg/12.5 mg or 20 mg/12.5 mg once a day. Healthcare providers may adjust the dose of Prinzide based on the effectiveness of the medication and any side effects that may develop. It's best to take your Prinzide dosage at the same time each day. Doing so will help to maintain an even level of Prinzide in your blood.
