You should take it, as long as your doctor instructs you to do so. There is no cure for high blood pressure, it can only be controlled by using medications, diet, exercise, or a combination of all 3.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, and increased urination.

Are you on any other medications?
