TORONTO -- A new Canadian study suggests people taking a commonly used type of high blood pressure medication should not be prescribed a particular type of antibiotic.
The study suggests the combination can result in rare but serious kidney injuries.
And senior author Dr. Amit Garg says a study of Ontario's health records shows the combination has been prescribed nearly 100,000 times in the past decade, despite the fact that there are warnings against combining the drugs.
