Hi and thanks for the query,
This is a drug used in managing high blood pressure. A clinical review is however mandatory to guide its usage. If a kidney function test has been done and you have an altered kidney function, it could cause kidney damage. How ever if otherwise, you can take the drug. Your clinical history and medical history should have prompted the doctor to stop the drug. Kind regards
