My Wife Has High Blood Pressure Every Day. She Was
My wife has high blood pressure every day. She was perscrided amlodipine besylate 10mg and a combo pill called Lisinopril-hydrochlor 20-25 mg tab once a day. Her pressure will run at around 187/ 120 somthing. When she took both thise pills togather her pressure dropped to 100/65 wich is ver low for her. She was very tired and lathargic. My question is. Can she break the lisinopril-hydrochlor 20-25 in half and take that half with her amlodipine besylate 10 tab instead of taking a whole lisin-hyrochlor with her amlodipine? Or is the combo pill the kind you cant break or crush?
