Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My BP currently is around 160/100 even after taking Nebicard-5 and diurestic lasilactone, since last few days....my local doc who is simply an MBBS not a specialist.....has asked me to continue with the same medication adding one more diurestic. What should I do? Pl. Advise.
I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. You have not mentioned which diuretic has been added by your doctor. Lasilactone is combination drug of two diuretics lasix and aldactone and you may not need an additional diuretic with these two.
In your case a proper choice would be an ACE inhibitor or ARB or a calcium channel blocker. Before adding any other medication additional information regarding your medical history and previous investigations are required. I suggest you consult a physician who would take a complete medical history and do a medication review with you.
