It is generally not recommended to take Alka-Seltzer with lisinopril without consulting a healthcare provider first. Alka-Seltzer contains aspirin, which can interact with lisinopril and potentially increase the risk of side effects such as stomach ulcers or bleeding. It is important to discuss any potential interactions with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use of both medications.

Yes, BUT you should not drink a large amount of alcohol and you should absolutely stay well hydrated. You should drink a lot of water to make sure your kidney won't suffer from dehydration. Lisinopril will be toxic for your kidney if you get dehydrated.
I take 10 mg of Lisinopril,
I have a sinus cold, can I take alka
seltzer plus cold?
Most certainly not...too
much sodium and the decongestant interferes with your blood pressure medicine. Better to use alternating

No, if you have high blood pressure you should not take cold medicine except for the special ones marked HBP which are made by Coricidin. Alia-Seltzer Plus contains decongestants which will raise your blood pressure.
No, you should avoid any cold medications except for the "Coricidin HBP" (High Blood Pressure) ones, because the decongestants make your blood pressure go up and your heart race. You should also be careful of OTC pain killers like those in the cold medicine, because there is a chance that they could increase the effects of the warfarin on blood thinning.
