8. Important notes

8.1 Drugs

Self-measurement of blood pressure
does not replace treatment! So do
not interpret your measured values
on your own and do not use them
for self-prescribed treatment. Take
measurements as instructed by your
doctor and have confidence in his
diagnosis. Take drugs as prescribed
by your doctor and never alter the
dose on your own. Discuss the
appropriate time for self-measure-
ment of blood pressure with your
doctor.

8.2 Pregnancy

Blood pressure may change during
pregnancy. Regular blood pressure
monitoring is particularly important
if you have high blood pressure
because the elevated blood
pressure values may affect the
development of the foetus. Check
with your doctor whether and, if so,
when you should carry out self-
measurement of blood pressure.
8.3 Diabetes, history of other
medical conditions
If you have diabetes, hepatic
disorders or narrowed blood vessels
(e.g. arteriosclerosis, peripheral
arterial occlusive diseases (PAOD),
you should consult your doctor
before carrying out self-measure-
ment because altered measured
values may occur in such cases. If
you suffer from certain blood
diseases (e.g. haemophilia), sever-
ely impaired blood flow, or if you
take blood-thinning drugs, you
should also ask your doctor before
carrying out self-measurement.
