CREXONT comes in 4 dose strengths. Two purple three times/day, was very effective but dropped my blood pressure into the 80;s/, One purple and a yellow 4/day improved overall but still blood press. was low. Now taking 5 purple (70/280) five/day, improved BP but still not quite right. Will see my neurologist Thursday. Stay tuned.
