Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I presume that you are taking Zestril for hypertension. Lasix is not an anti hypertensive. If your blood pressure is not properly controlled then you need to consult your physician for adding other suitable options and revising your dosage schedule.
If you are taking Zestril for congestive heart failure then adding lasix might cause a fluid and electrolyte imbalance in your body. Do not self medicate yourself. It could be XXXXXXX
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
