Problems:

of what was happening but continued to administer the “vaccine” which was the

Dialogue/Script:

Hi Nikki! Yes, you do not have a high blood pressure. However, since you are taking
Progynova, which provides hormone replacement therapy, one of its side effects is the
increase of your blood pressure. That is why your doctor prescribed you spironolactone
medication which is Aldactone that would Lower high blood pressure. It is also advisable that
you should always monitor your blood pressure if it is high while taking these medications so
that you know when to stop taking it and consult your doctor as soon as possible.
