This is most interesting - one of our local consultants has given the
same advice with regard to a couple of elderly male patients of mine
although for one he did suggest Arthrotec first as the individual
suffers a lot of joint pains (and it does seem to have helped in both
regards).
I too had heard that the Germans investigate & treat low blood pressure.
I look forward to hearing about this from someone who KNOWS what they
are talking about..... :-)
