Is Lisinopril safe while having hepatitis c?
Patient: i was recently prescribed lisinopril for hypertension 152/98 and i drink at least a 40 oz. of 7.5 malt liquor or more daily. This averages to to be a six pack or more. After reading what the possible side effects are i stopped taking it. i am also hcv+ and would like to know if i continue the medication and drinking if it will be ok on my liver. Doctor: hi.thanks for posting query at hcmadvise:- quit alcohol- continue medication if BP has been repeatedly high in more than 2 visits and if diet/lifestyle modification ( decrease salt intake, NO red meat/ junk food/ regular exercise ) did not help to maintain normal BPwish you good n sound healthregardsDr Tayyab Malik
