Posted on Wed, 18 Jan 2017
Question: Is there such a good pressure medicine that is liver friendly? I have cirrhosis of the liver.
Last year I was prescribed lisinopril last year had multiple side effects with it. I have been trying to lower my blood pressure naturally but in the last few days it has spiked.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
If you have liver disease you can take Amlodipine tab 5mg which can be increased upto 10mg twice daily. This medicine is both liver & kidney friendly & helps in controlling the bp very well.
Wishing you a good health.
