Directions For Use
Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the
associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140
mmHg and 160 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values
lie between 90 mmHg and 95 mmHg, please consult your doctor.
Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.
With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values
under 105 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg, please
consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with
your blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you
can detect possible changes in your values early and react
appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood
pressure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure
by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of
the day. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the
results of your measurements to alter independently the
drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
