Excuse me, I'm thinking of buying this ibuprofen for my headache.
打扰一下，我打算买这种布洛芬来治头痛。

Certainly. Just to be sure, are you currently taking any other medications, prescription or over-the-counter?
好的。为了确保安全，您目前正在服用其他药物吗？无论是处方药还是非处方药都请告知。

Sarah (Female)
Yes, I am. I take lisinopril for high blood pressure every morning, and sometimes I take an antihistamine for allergies.
是的，我在服用。我每天早上服用赖诺普利治疗高血压，有时还会服用抗组胺药治疗过敏。

David (Male)
Thank you for letting me know. Lisinopril and ibuprofen can potentially interact. Ibuprofen can reduce the effectiveness of lisinopril and even increase your blood pressure. Taking them together could also strain your kidneys.
感谢您告诉我。赖诺普利和布洛芬之间可能存在相互作用。布洛芬可能会降低赖诺普利的药效，甚至升高您的血压。同时服用它们也可能给您的肾脏带来负担。

Sarah (Female)
Oh, I had no idea. What about with the antihistamine?
哦，我完全不知道。那和抗组胺药呢？
6
David (Male)
Generally, ibuprofen and most common antihistamines don't have significant interactions. However, it's the lisinopril that's the primary concern here.
一般来说，布洛芬和大多数常见的抗组胺药没有显著的相互作用。但是，这里主要的问题是赖诺普利。

Sarah (Female)
So, is there something else I can take for my headache that won't interact with my blood pressure medication?
那么，有什么其他药可以治疗我的头痛，而且不会和我的降压药产生相互作用吗？
8
David (Male)
Yes, acetaminophen, commonly known as Tylenol, would be a much safer option for you. It's less likely to interact with lisinopril. Would you like me to get that for you instead?
是的，对乙酰氨基酚，通常称为泰诺，对您来说是一个更安全的选择。它不太可能与赖诺普利发生相互作用。您想让我给您拿那种药吗？
9
Sarah (Female)
Yes, please. Thank you so much for checking!
是的，请。非常感谢您的检查！

David (Male)
You're very welcome. Always a good idea to inform your pharmacist about all the medications you're taking.
不客气。告知药剂师您正在服用的所有药物总是一个好主意。
