Frequently asked questions
Does Cipmido 5mg Tablet raise blood pressure?
Yes, Cipmido 5mg Tablet can cause high blood pressure when lying flat on your back (supine hypertension). This medicine should be used only by individuals whose low blood pressure significantly impacts their daily life and those who have not found successful treatment with other therapies.
