If your maintaining this blood pressure since last 6 month then you may reduce it to 25 mg once a day and keep monitoring your bp. If blood pressure remained in normal range you may continue this dose. But if you r having diabetes then please do not reduce the dose.

You can try any dose, but measure bp only once every month on fixed dates after resting for 10 minutes. Keep resting bp below 140.
