Question
is it safe to lipidil supra 160mg and monocor 10 mg at the same time. I am suffering from hypertension and high cholesterol.
Dear Kandoth,
Beta blockers (Monocor) and fibrates (lipidil supra) are taken together quite frequently for the treatment of high blood pressure and hypercholesteremia respectively.
I have not known of any patients with reported adverse effects when taking the two drugs together.
I hope this helps and I wish you health and happiness!
Best,
Dr. Tara Kompare, Pharm.D.

Expertise
I can answer a broad range of questions related to community pharmacy practice. My particular interests include childrens` health and safe medication use for seniors. As the mother of two small children, I am quite knowledgable on many parenting issues from how to handle a baby with colic to how to get kids to take their medicine. With regards to medication use in seniors, I can answer questions about adverse effects, drugs to generally avoid in that population, and disease management issues.

I entered the world of pharmacy as a technician for approximately six years. I then went on to receive my Doctor of Pharmacy degree and now work for the Federal Government as an outpatient pharmacist.
