Re: Consultation
Dr Mohammed what about increasing the dose of lisinopril to 20 mg ( some literature may allow 40 mg ) if cough is a problem change it to losartan ,I think if the blood pressure doesnt controlled after the maximum dose of losartan you should go for a thiazide-like diuretic, such as chlortalidoneor indapamide in preference to a thiazide diuretic such as bendroflumethiazide or hydrochlorothiazide it may become a little bit harder to control the blood sugar.but it may not happen at all ,another important point is to make sure that his or her renal function is normal other wise you should stop dounil and start insulin .
