A member asked:
What are the prescription drugs simvastatin and lisinopril for? what do they do? my dad is to take these, and he's curious as what they're for.

OK: Simvastatin is a cholesterol lowering agent. Lisinopril is a blood pressure medicine, it is also used for patients who have some kidney impairment. Now for a brief scolding,..your father should not have left the dr's office with these prescriptions without knowing what they are, what they are used for and what side effects to look out for. OK, scolding over. Best wishes for good health.
