What Is The Normal Protocol For Tekturna And Simvastatin ?
I have a nephrologist that I see for my kidney disease; he diagnosed me with membranous gloumeriniprhitis; its not aggressive at all; he prescribed me to take Tekturna primarily for kidney protection (not necessarily high blood pressure) and he prescribe simvastatin for my high cholesterol..I am concerned is this normal protocol. Can these two medications be taken together without interactions?
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your concern. Tetkurna is given,to control B.P.(blood pressure ). Care has to be taken,if your creatinine is elevated. Your B.P. will be checked frequently. Your blood sugar must be normal. Statin is routine treatment for elevated cholesterol levels. Avoid taking alcohol and fatty foods,while on this treatment. So,there's no harm in taking the two together. If u've any other doubts,send it as a direct question to me. Dr.Matthew J.Mangat.
