Accepted Answer

: Not likely, would suggest skipping next morning doses and starting using a pillbox or software/apps that will prevent such events from happening again. If ever in doubt, better not to double the dose other than missing one.

Lisinopril: Is probably more,effective at protecting your vessels and your kidneys.  We use a lodging and an adjunctive therapy

Question 4

Not dangerous: The combination will potently lower BP  -  as long as your BP isn't too low, it's a good combination for lowering BP because the meds work by complementary mechanisms.

Yes: This is a very commonly used combination.

Question 6

is it just as fine to take lisinopril/hctz versus taking lisinopril and amlodipine in a patient with a tia with no recurrence in 9 months.

Accepted Answer

Choice of drugs: The answer to your question depends on how well controlled your blood pressure is on the lisinopril/hctz as opposed to it on amolodipine. The lower your blood pressure, without symptoms of hypotension, the less risk you have for strokes, heart attacks and renal failure in the future. Ask the physician (p) who wrote your prescriptions for advice, as your p knows your history better. Good luck.

Question 7

i take lisinopril 40mg..amlodipine 10mg and my doctor just prescribed,,,, losartan 100mg,,, im worried what these together will do to my body,,, can you help shed some light on this please?

Accepted Answer

Do not combine: Never combine lisinopril and losartan. They have similar mechanism of action and also, taken together, have more frequent side effects. Only if you have heavy proteinuria a nephrologist might give those both together. Otherwise, never combine.

Question 8

i am allergic to lisinopril and losartan. i'm take amlodipine 10 mg. & hcz 25 mg. but it 's not controlling my blood pressure. still too high. what should i be taking since they said metoprolol wasn't doing me any good. (it worked for 1.5 years.?

Accepted Answer

: Blood pressure control is truly critical for long-term health, but do NOT get discouraged, as there are numerous choices.  Doses can be adjusted upwards, new medications can be tried.  See your internist, get advice regarding the next steps and work closely until levels are stabilized with appropriate success.  Diligent followup will achieve your goals.

Question 9

i started taking lisinopril march 12, 2012, i also take norvasc (amlodipine) for blood pressure.  i started seeing floaters, could the lisinopril be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Lisinopril is a good antihypertensive and it is likely that your 'floaters' arrived coincidentally.   Floaters are an ocular issue and if you have never been evaluated you need to get in to an eye professional for a thorough eye exam as this issue may indicate a retinal problem.

Question 10

i have diabetes type2 i take  amlodipine besylate, lisinopril hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) 20-12,5, medformin. is it bad to ad simvastatin >?

Accepted Answer

Simvastatin can: help lower cholesterol levels. The HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide), (hydrochlorothiazide) however, can cause increases in both glucose and cholesterol. There are other blood pressure medications which do not contain HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide). Discuss w/your doctor.
