Question I am taking 10 mg. of Lisinopril daily for high blood pressure and noticed that many of the normal pain relievers I would have used prior to this script, are listed as having potential interactions. What pain reliever should I use if taking this medication? Tylenol??
Thanks!
Answer Hi Marilyn,
hen taking Lisinopril you should avoid using analgesics that contain non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and naproxen. These counteract the blood pressure lowering effect of lisinopril. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe to use.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
