I am on Bendroflumenthiazide and Lisinopril -  Could you please advise what pain killers can I take.   Myprodol or Paracetamol?   Many thanks

    Best to ring your local chemist/pharmacy and ask which pain killers interact with your meds, safe than sorry

    Sally, Paracetamol is usually recommended as the painkiller of choice with any medicines - I don't know anything about Myprodol, but take a look at Drugs online for compatibility of any drug with another.

    A lot depends upon what condition you need the painkillers for.

    Your Pharmacist is the best person to ask about a suitable medication, as any advice given  on this forum may well be incorrect and therefore in your case dangerous, particularly as you already suffer with hypertension.

    Speak to your Pharmacist.
