i have a white round pill that say's novo only on one side and its not a capsul it's chalky and im wondering what this is and what it is used for. ## Hi junior, I'm pretty certain that I located a match to the pill you are describing. This "chalky" white round pill is engraved with: no|vo on scored side and 0.1 on unscored side. The pill is identified as Novo-Clonidine (0.1 mg) Clonidine has been prescribed historically as an antihypertensive drug, but has found new uses, including treatment of some types of neuropathic pain, opioid detoxification, sleep hyperhidrosis, anaesthetic use, and off-label, to counter the side effects of stimulant medications such as methylphenidate or amphetamine.

Both of my kidneys are polycystic. My mother had it and two brothers have it. My BP was not rising, as far as I know, unless very unusual circumstances. One doctor near my town prescribed me Olmin 20 LN. Which contains Olmesartan Medoxomil 20 mg and Cilnidipine 10 mg. Nephrologist doctor also said no problem. But when I read side effects of Olmesartan, it includes rising Serum Creatinine which I recently experienced, may be due to an unsuitable diet for my kidneys or may be for starting Olmin 20 LN. Should I stop it? I am taking homeopathic medicine for kidneys and a restricted diet. So I think of stopping Olmin 20 LN? Please guide. ## It would best to consult your doctor and not stop the medication, without their approval and supervision. These types of medications are often prescribed...

My BP is now normal. 110/70. I'm overweight. I still smoke sometimes. Not like before, i used to consume 30 or more sticks per day. I have controlled it. I'm on atorvastatin 20mg but recently 10 mg by doctors advice. I have very normal cholesterol, trigly, sugar etc. all normal. Except this left side chest pain. There are days, but not all the time that this is bothersome. Not really painful but it bothers me every time.

ingredients of this drug including all the fillers, etcl ## I'm sorry, but since you didn't specify a manufacturer, I can't tell you what the particular fillers/inactive ingredients are. This is a generic for Cozaar, so it is made by several different companies and the inactive ingredients can vary. The active ingredient is the Losartan, which is an ARB that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach pain. Learn more: Can you post back with more details, such as the manufacturer or markings on the pills? ## I am experiencing a rash on my torso and wonder if it is becing caused by my generic hydrochlorothiazide losartan - 25 mg. with ZD19. TeleDrug recently switched the generic formula (it used...

Hi I have been on these capsules for many years for my migraines. one time I was given the pill version and this had dramatic effects on my Migraines. I am now having major problems getting my prescriptions filled because the Chemist seem to have problems obtaining them. I am so worried that I will have to change the medication for something that clearly didn't work for me. Do you know why these are unavailable in UK. Thanks Yvonne

Usually, side effects go away, once your body adjusts to a new medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks.

Some countries use the I, instead of the Y in words like this. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi. Mr Doctor has prescribed Pur-bloka 20mg twice Daily to slow down my heart rate, which it has done but I find my BP dropping too low too even without taking the 6mg Carloc. Is this not dangerous as I then have pain in my left arm when it is too low? ## Hello, Janet! How are you? How low is your blood pressure dropping? Lower blood pressure isn't always dangerous, it depends on whether or not it is causing someone problematic symptoms, as reported by the NIH. What type of pain do you experience? Does it radiate? Or is it muscular? Have you consulted your doctor? It would be best to have this checked out to be safe.

I am a 47 year old male and have suffered from cluster headaches for 25 years, without any medication really helping. Someone recently recommended verapamil My doctor hadn't heard of it. Does it help, and how is it meant to be taken- daily, or only when headaches occur? ## Yes, I take verapamil for migraines. Don't know if it works for cluster headaches, but if your doc hasn't heard of it there's at least a decent chance he also misdiagnosed you as cluster headaches vs migraine... It is a preventative so I take it every day. For me, I'm taking 240mg SR. It is not a cure but it does reduce the frequency and severity of my symptoms. Preventatives are all meds for other illnesses that over time evidence built up that for some people they helped with migraines. Neurologi...

HI IM TAKING RAMEPRIL FOR BLOOD PRESSURE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT DIET PILLS ARE SAFE TO TAKE ## Hello, Allison! How are you? No, you should not take that, if you have high blood pressure, because it is actually well known for elevating blood pressure and heart rate, as reported by the U.S. FDA. Before taking anything, since you have high blood pressure, you should check with your doctor. What are your normal blood pressure levels with the Ramipril?

Does Liprosil blood pressure medicine cause heavy periods? ## Hello, Liz! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. It's not among the side effects reported by the FDA. They list its most common typical ones as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and low libido. However, it's difficult to say how any medication might effect any given person that tries it. Are you on any other medications?

I took 25 mg atenolol around 3 pm. And forgot I did. I took another tablet around 7 pm. I am worried. My doctor told me doesn't seem to be dangerous. I asked how low can by pulse go. He said it depends on how I feel. My pulse is oscillating between 49 and 55. My blood pressure was lower than normal. But now it is ok. It is just my pulse. I am afraid to sleep for fear of my pulse going to low. ## Hello, Maria! How are you? Did it go any lower? Most people do take 50 to 100mgs a day, so that isn't a dangerous dose, unless you'd be allergic to it, or your heart rate would drop too much. The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination. Did you try some activity or anything to help raise it some?
