Hypertension meds and painkillers

I am on Bendroflumenthiazide and Lisinopril - Could you please advise what pain killers can I take. Myprodol or Paracetamol? Many thanks

Best to ring your local chemist/pharmacy and ask which pain killers interact with your meds, safe than sorry

Sally, Paracetamol is usually recommended as the painkiller of choice with any medicines - I don't know anything about Myprodol, but take a look at Drugs online for compatibility of any drug with another.

A lot depends upon what condition you need the painkillers for.

Your Pharmacist is the best person to ask about a suitable medication, as any advice given on this forum may well be incorrect and therefore in your case dangerous, particularly as you already suffer with hypertension.

Speak to your Pharmacist.

Thanks so much - that makes sense! Haven't got my thinking cap on today!

Will go and have a look - again, my thanks.

As I said to Alexandra - dont have my thinking cap on - the most sensible thing to do. Thanks to all for your input.
