Hi everyone, I might have to take medication for high blood pressure. I'm

taking Plaquenil and have read that there could be an interaction with

some blood pressure meds. and Plaquenil. Does anyone know of a safe

one that I could take with the Plaquenil?

Thanks.

    Cloch, you need to tell the doctor prescribing the blood pressure medication what else you're taking. He/she will know whether or not it's safe.
