Can REDACT affect blood pressure or heart rate?
REDACT SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES BLOOD PRESSURE IN SOME PATIENTS. REGULAR MONITORING OF BLOOD PRESSURE IS REQUIRED WHEN TAKING REDACT. On average, small increases in blood pressure and small increases in heart rate were seen in overweight people who took REDACT in scientifically controlled studies. You should make sure you see your doctor as directed for regular follow-up visits. Your blood pressure and pulse should be measured prior to starting therapy with REDACT and should be monitored at regular intervals thereafter. If you experience an increase in blood pressure or heart rate while taking REDACT, your doctor may decide to decrease the dose or discontinue REDACT. If you have high blood pressure that is controlled by medication or diet, your doctor may choose to prescribe REDACT for you as part of a comprehensive weight-management program. REDACT should not be taken by people who have uncontrolled or poorly controlled high blood pressure.
