How to Request Medication Review and Adjustment Before Your Appointment


If you are experiencing side effects or symptoms that suggest your medication may need adjustment—such as unusually low blood pressure readings—you should contact your doctor as soon as possible.


Appointments Required for Medication Adjustment


A consultation is required to adjust or change your medication, even if you have detailed logs or measurements. Your doctor needs to review your condition, symptoms, and readings during a consultation before making changes to your prescription.


Medication adjustments cannot be made by email or chat without a consultation.


How to Request a Medication Review


To request a medication review and adjustment:


  1. Call our reception team at 018686121 to book an appointment
  2. Choose your consultation type:
    • Phone consultation: If you are away from Dublin or unable to visit in person, you can book a phone consultation with your doctor
    • In-person appointment: If you are in Dublin or can visit our clinic
  3. Prepare your information: Have your measurement logs, symptoms, and current medication details ready to share during your consultation


If You Are Experiencing Concerning Symptoms


If you experience concerning symptoms—such as very low blood pressure readings, dizziness, fainting, or vision changes—do not wait:


  • Contact our reception immediately to request an urgent consultation or phone consultation
  • Do not stop taking your medication without speaking to your doctor first, as sudden changes may cause serious side effects


What to Expect During Your Consultation


During your consultation, your doctor will:


  • Review your blood pressure logs and measurement data
  • Discuss your symptoms and side effects
  • Assess whether your current medication dosage needs adjustment
  • Issue a revised prescription if appropriate
