Brief Answer:
There are interactions between these medications
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query at HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your medication history and there are interactions between these medications you are taking of which you need to be aware of.
- Bisoprolol, amlodipine and lisinopril all lowers blood pressure. When taken together there is chance of developing low blood pressure/hypotension. If you develop dizziness, confusion, syncope immediately contact your health care provider.
- Another important interaction is between allopurinol and lisinopril . Both these medications when used together have shown increased incidence of hypersensitivity reactions. If you develop any skin rash, skin peeling, breathing difficulty, swelling of throat and lips; immediately discontinue these medications and seek emergency medical care.
However, continue taking all these medications as prescribed unless you develop a side effect because your doctor must've decided the benefits from the medications outweighing the risks already.
Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to ask in case any further concerns

I understand that these medications all lower my blood pressure, but does the magnesium and coQ10 also lower the blood pressure even further? I do get dizzy at times, maybe this is a side effect of the combination of pills that I am taking. I'm trying to take better care of myself by taking vitamin supplements because I don't always eat well rounded meals as often as I should, but I want to make sure that I am taking vitamins in a safe and correct manner.
Brief Answer:
Discontinue Magnesium and Coq10
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for addressing your question here.
Magnesium and Coq10 causes a mild decrese in blood pressure. Since you are experiencing dizzy spells, I recommend that you discontinue the Magnesium and Coq10.Moreover Coq10 along with aspirin increase bleeding risk.
These supplements are naturally found in abundance on green leafy vegetables, beef, beans,whole grain cereals etc. Consuming Magnisium and Coq10 through natural sources is safer.
Discontinue Magnisium and Coq10 and follow up with your doctor for reconsideration of doses of blood pressure medication since you are experiencing dizzy spells.Do not stop or reduce the dose of Blood pressure medications without consulting your doctor first.
