    Sorry, but I'm not familiar with that one. For high blood pressure I have been taking Atenolol which also regulates heart rhythm to stop palpitations and also Ramipril which is also good for the Kidneys.

    I believe it is used to treat hypertension. Trade name is Tekturna, a renin inhibitor. Renin acts on the kidneys to help control blood pressure.

    Hypertension, diabetes and Wegs-- triple threat to your kidneys. You should have a nephrologist who knows Wegs very well consulting on your case.

    How is your care in Israel? Do you have access to Wegs specialists?

    Whew! I'm relieved you don't have all three. I'm also relieved that you're getting such good care.
