A member asked:
I've recently seen some conflicting reports about certain heart medications and the covid. should my dad continue to take his medications?

Yes: Don't allow him to discontinue important heart, blood pressure or other prescribed medications without his physicians supervision. It has been established that blood pressure medications of the ACE inhibitor class(example:lisinopril) or ARB class(example: losartan) are not harmful during a covid19 infection and don't need to be discontinued.

COVID 19: Recommend that your father not independently stop any of his medications. Recommend that he consult with a physician (who knows his medications) if he is concerned about them.
