Will Taking A Multivitamin Before Lisinorpil Cause Any Side Effect?
Took my first dose of lisinopril about an hour ago. Didn t realize that I was suppose to keep my intake of potassium down and ate a banana. About an hour before taking the lisinopril I also took a multivitamin. Will I have any problems? I m 30, 6 3, weigh 247 with a history of high blood pressure that runs in my family.

Hello,
Please do not worry as the potassium contained in a banana is not high enough to cause serious trouble. Obviously, you should avoid potassium-rich food (like bananas) if you do have a high potassium level but do not worry that much about an occasional consumption of a banana. Most vitamins do not interact with drugs particularly when taken 1 hour before the drug. I don't believe any harm was done!
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
