A member asked:

Can i take two lisinopril/hctz 20-25 for blood pressure instead of taking one lisinopril 40. my body gets so bloated when i stop taking the diuretic. ?

Substitution?: You need to speak to your physician (P) about your feeling bloated when you stop taking diuretics. Your P knows you best and is the one you should ask to answer your question. You should ask about taking lisinopril 40 mg with 25 mg of HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) once/daily. Good luck.

Good morning doctors. I take Losartan HCTZ 100mg and Metoprolol ER 100mg. Would it be better (or not better) for my blood pressure control to have both medications with a diuretic/water pill?

A member asked:

Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?
