What is a blood pressure medication that would be safe for my liver?

Q: I have a malignant tumor on my liver. Can you suggest a safe BP medication that would be safe for my liver?

A: A beta-blocker, such as atenolol (Tenormin), is an example of a drug that can be used to treat hypertension in people with liver disease. It is a reasonable choice because the drug is metabolized by the kidney, not the liver. Depending upon the extent of your liver involvement, it might be safe to use other classes of drugs with careful monitoring. You should discuss the options with your personal physician.
