My sister was given three scripts for blood pressure meds.!


Question: My sister was given three scripts for blood pressure meds!.
Her dr!. gave her Verapamil, Lisinopril, and Avapro!. He told her to take them all at once!. She is very sensitive to any kind of drug and I KNOW the dr!. told her to take them all at once, but I am worried it may be too much for her!. Isn't this a lot of pills to take at one time for blood pressure!? Would it make more sense to spread them out during the day!? She has been on other meds, but due to cost he changed her scripts!.

Answers:
This is a question you should be asking the Dr or a pharmacist!. The 3 drugs she has been given work in different ways!. Its common to give more than one type of drug to treat blood pressure!.

Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor!. Angiotensin is a chemical that is made by the body continuously!. It narrows blood vessels and thereby maintains (elevates) blood pressure!. When the enzyme is blocked by lisinopril, angiotensin cannot be converted into its active form!. As a result, blood vessels dilate and blood pressure falls!.
