Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
- 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 BP
wish you good n sound health regards Dr Tayyab Malik
