Can Chlortalid And Lisinopril Be Taken Together For Raised Blood Pressure?
My husband has developed high blood pressure in the past 6 weeks. He hurt his hip back in early Dec and everytime he went in his blood pressure was up. His Dr. put him on chlorthalid 25 mg 1/day. Last week he had him start taking 2/day. Yesterday he went in and got it checked it was still high. So he gave hima prescription for Lisinopril 20 mg. He was told to take one of the chlortalid and 1 of the lisinopril every day. Is that safe?
