If you already take blood pressure medicine and your condition is stable, a nurse practitioner licensed in your state can usually renew it through an online refill visit. Have your recent home readings, your medication name and dose, and the date of your last labs ready.

Why you shouldn't stop blood pressure medicine suddenly

High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, so it's easy to think you don't need your pills. But stopping suddenly can make your pressure spike, and some medicines (like beta-blockers and clonidine) can cause a dangerous rebound if stopped abruptly. A quick refill keeps you protected.

Common blood pressure medicines we refill

  • ACE inhibitors: lisinopril, enalapril. May cause a dry cough.
  • ARBs: losartan, valsartan, olmesartan.
  • Calcium channel blockers: amlodipine. May cause ankle swelling.
  • Diuretics: hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone.
  • Beta-blockers: metoprolol, carvedilol.

What to have ready for your refill visit

  • Medication name, strength and how you take it.
  • A week of home blood pressure readings (morning and evening).
  • Any side effects: cough, dizziness, swelling.
  • When you last had blood work. Many blood pressure medicines need kidney function and potassium checked at least once a year.

If labs are due, your nurse practitioner adds a lab form to your portal that you can take to any approved lab.

What your numbers mean

  • Normal: under 120/80
  • Elevated: 120–129 / under 80
  • Stage 1 hypertension: 130–139 / 80–89
  • Stage 2 hypertension: 140/90 or higher

Most adults on treatment aim for under 130/80. Take readings seated, feet flat, after 5 minutes of rest, with the cuff on a bare arm.

Lifestyle steps that lower blood pressure

  • Cut back on salt; aim for under 1,500 to 2,300 mg of sodium a day.
  • Eat more fruits, vegetables and beans (the DASH eating pattern).
  • Move 30 minutes most days.
  • Limit alcohol.
  • Losing even 5% of body weight can lower blood pressure.

Get in-person care or call 911 if you have:

  • Blood pressure 180/120 or higher with chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, numbness, trouble speaking or vision changes (call 911)

Frequently asked questions

Can I get my blood pressure medication refilled online?

Yes, if your blood pressure is stable and you are already on treatment. A nurse practitioner licensed in your state reviews your readings and history before renewing your prescription.

Can you refill a prescription from my old doctor?

In many cases, yes. Tell us the medication, dose and condition. We may order labs before continuing some medicines.

Do I need labs for a blood pressure refill?

Often once a year. Many blood pressure medicines can affect kidney function and potassium, so your provider may order a basic metabolic panel.
