A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
