Can I Take Nexium With Cholesterol And High Blood Pressure Meds?

Question

Originally asked by Community Member Lynn

Answer

Hi Lynn,

It depends on the medication you are taking to treat high blood pressure and cholesterol. For example, taking a diuretic can be impacted if you also take Nexium. I recommend discussing with your physician or pharmacist to make sure there are no drug interactions of concern if you combine the medications.

All the best,
