How Long Should I Continue Taking Prescribed Metoprolol, Lisinopril And HCTZ?

My doctor put me on Metoprolol but for only 3 months along with my Lisinopril and HCTZ; I m going on vacation next week; should I check with my doctor whether or not he wants to continue the Metoprolol while I m away or wait until I get back; he didn t tell me to come back until my annual physical next May?

Dear sir

These three drugs are essenstial drugs, which needs to be taken life times in most of the cases. But according to the needs and situation the dosage of the drugs may be altered or tapered.

These drugs have preventive and protective action against kidneys, heart and other vital organs

So please dont discontinue the drugs.

Hope this information is helpful

Thanks
