Q: I have hypertension, colitis and liver disease. What med(s) have the least side effects in patients with these conditions? Also, are there other homeopathic remedies for hypertension?
A: With diseases that affect different parts of the body, it is a balancing act to find medications to adequately treat all the conditions. A drug with the least side-effects for one condition may be the worst possible drug for the other disease. Both your doctor and your pharmacist work together to figure out best combinations of medications for treatment. Homeopathy is based on treating symptoms, so available remedies for any disease are individualized.
