Question I am currently taking 20 mg of Lisinopril w/a hydro. and Adipex. Are there any major side effects?
Answer HI,Kassi!
If you are taking lisinopril for high blood pressure, there is a contra-indication with Adipex. According to the manufacturer, Adipex is not recommended for use in patients with hypertension (high blood pressure)because it will potentially increase your blood pressure. Hope this helps, Mary
