Is It Safe To Take L Arginine, L Carnitine, Taurine, Fish Oil Along With Carvedilol And Lisinopril?
Hello,
It is my pleasure to answer you.
In congestive heart failure there are few medicine which are recommended by ACC /AHA and those medicine has proven its effectiveness in many clinical trials as well as in clinical practice - and it should be taken by all heart failure patient if they tolerate medicine and do not develop side effect of medicine.
Accordingly Carvedilol and lisinopril are indicated as first line and should be taken - both above medicines has proven its beneficial effect on long term mortality and morbidity benefit in patient of heart failure.
Medicine like L arginine, L carnitine, coq10, taurine, fish oil are supplementary medicine and in large clinical trials till now has not proven its beneficial effect; so these are not included in first line list of medicine. However these medicine are mainly supplement and does not have much side effect; so, many doctor are prescribing to patient. You may take them and they do not have much interaction with carvedilol / lisinopril - they can be taken together.
Apart from medicine also adopt healthy life style; adopt healthy diet habit; restrict fluid intake; restrict salt intake; stay away from any type of addiction and take proper rest and sleep.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further queries feel free to ask me.

Is d-ribose safe for heart failure patients?
Hello,
D Ribose is also one type of sugar only and it is a nutritional supplement. Till now no nutritional supplement has shown any proven role in heart failure. But there is no harm, if you take in limited quantity.
But most important is to take your heart failure medicine. Rest of the vitamins and other supplements are optional.
