Monitoring

While adjusting medication dosage, blood pressure (BP) should be monitored every 2-4 weeks. Once stabilised, BP should be checked and medications reviewed every 6-12 months. Serum potassium and creatinine should be checked annually. Patients taking thiazide, thiazide-type diuretics, or aldosterone antagonists should also have serum sodium checked annually.
