Can I buy blood pressure medicines over the counter in Singapore?

We will review your cholesterol levels and help arrange the dispensing of your medication at transparent prices, delivered right to your door step on the same-day.

The Silent Killer!

High blood pressure means your heart is working too hard to pump blood, which can be bad for your heart and other parts of your body. It's often called a "silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms, so you should check your blood pressure regularly. Eating healthy, exercising, and taking medicine your doctor prescribes can help you keep your blood pressure in a safer range.

How can I best control my High Blood Pressure effectively?

Managing a chronic condition might seem overwhelming, but with the right tools and advice, it can be much easier. Here’s how you can monitor your condition:

  • 1. Regular Check-ups & Blood Tests

    Schedule an appointment with our Online Doctors for assessments who can advise you further on how frequently you should check your blood pressure and screening lab tests, and how to titrate your medication dosages.
  • 2. Lifestyle Modifications

    Exercise, Smoking Cessation, Weight loss, DASH Diet, Increase Fibre Intake, Limit Alcohol, Reduce Saturated Fats & Trans Fats 
  • 3. Medication Compliance

    The most commonly prescribed medicines that help reduce blood pressure is Calcium Channel Blockers, ACE/ARBs, Diuretics & Beta-Blockers. The common ones prescribed are Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Losartan/Telmisartan, Enalpril/Lisinopril, Thiazides & Bisoprolol/Atenolol. High blood pressure does not usually present with symptoms - and therefore being asymptomatic does not mean that you can stop taking your medicines. Being regular and compliant with your blood pressure medicines, will help protect you from serious health complications like a heart attack or stroke.
