bro take some time off the gear and get your bp normal. Your health is way more important. Also inform your doc about your gear use, I have no clue why people are scared to tell them. But to answer your question I never had a reaction while taking gear on bp medicine. But also the bp medicine didn't help any either cause I was on gear. My advice is to take some time off. I know you only live once but you only die once too. take care IP: Logged |

As you can see, I am a newbie to this site, however, I am a resident in general surgery. If you can tell us which BP med you are prescribed, then I can tell you the contraindications, etc... DO NOT take D-Bol with any BP meds. Has been suspected to cause cerebrovascular accidents (strokes). Just ask your doctor...he will tell you what is safe. He cannot call the police on you because he can lose his license. IP: Logged |

monopril<---Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Only problem I see is that some AS drugs may contain Potassium which will cause hyperkalcemia (hi K+) which is dangerous. Know your drugs before you use them. Call your doctor right away if you have any of these side effects: � Irregular heartbeat � Chest pain lasting longer than 15 minutes � Trouble breathing or swallowing � Hoarseness � Skin rash, severe itching or hives � Swelling of face, mouth, hands or feet � Numbness or tingling in hands or feet � Fever, chills, or sore throat � Extreme weakness � Yellowing of skin or eyes Just use good judgement...peace IP: Logged |

to answer your question wade, you can take the two concurrently (together). There are no DIRECT interactions. Ace inhibitors are fine. I would stay away from Beta blockers if possible due to their ability to make your tired and ability to cause sexual dysfunction IP: Logged |
