Crystal-Pharm.D : Hello Welcome to Just Answers!
Crystal-Pharm.D : So you are currently taking Methyldopa for blood pressure and have been prescribed Macrobid for an infection?
Customer :

sorry no microzide a duretic for High BP

Crystal-Pharm.D : Oh ok, I see now.
Crystal-Pharm.D : Has your doctor told you to stop the Aldomet? because they can both be taken together safely.
Crystal-Pharm.D : There is actually a pill that contains both drugs in one called: Apo-Methazide (Canada name)
Customer :

she really did not tell me one way or another.

Crystal-Pharm.D : If your doctor just prescribed the Microzide to take and did not tell you to stop the Aldomet, you should not stop taking it until you speak with your doctor. They both work differently on blood pressure, and will work synergistically to decrease blood pressure. Did the same doctor prescribe both?
Customer :

ok thank you
