General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for using Telemedicine via HealthcareMagic.com. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Is use of Methamphetamine a drug abuse or a prescription by a doctor? Wilbert should not use this medication because he has high blood pressure, so it is contraindicated for him. He should take his medications (Lisinopril, Atorvastatin, Hydrochlorothiazide) as soon as possible, but should not take the missed dose. Measuring the blood pressure regurlaly, keeping a balanced diet, exercising are higly recommended. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
