Is it safe to use both the tablets in one day. ## Hello, Katiyar! How are you? Yes, they can both be taken, as long as your doctor approves and has instructed you to do so.

So, when hypertension is a misread diagnosis and Losartan is prescribed, fluid retention occurs. HCTZ is added to no avail then doubled. Retention continues. Before Losartan, BP avg to 160/100. After, 160/90. HCTZ added, 140/90. HCTZ doubled, 110/87. Remove Losartan and HCTZ, 130/80. A misdiagnosis can be deadly. Not understanding your med cocktail is just as deadly. Mine was a case of hyper-vigilance brought on by bad medication complex. Doctors miss this daily. I tried with 6 doctors who kept going with the hypertension conclusion. Once I stopped the bad medications, I was fine. Don't always trust a doctor to be correct. They don't always have the time to do the correct research. Do your homework. It's your body. It's your responsibility. ## Yes, it is wise to always b...

Has anyone taken Deplin? Is the side effects harsh? ## Deplin contains the active ingredient "L-methylfolate"; which is actually considered to be a vitamin. Apparently L-methylfolate, the active form of the vitamin, folate, is the only folate that can be taken up by the brain where it helps balance the chemical messengers that affect mood (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine). I think the information quoted below can help answer your question concerning side effects: "Folic acid is LIKELY SAFE for most people. Most adults do not experience any side effects when consuming the recommended amount each day, which is 400 mcg. High doses of folic acid might cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, rash, sleep disorders, irritability, confusion, nausea, stomach upset, behavior changes,...

I normally drink 3 - 4 beers daily. Once or twice a week I would chill and not drink. So, after taking Losartan and 8 hours later when I get home, can I drink Bud Light Beer. I don't do hard liquor at all, just light beer. My blood pressure went up to 182/? (can' remember bottom #) and was taken Metropol and now been changed to Losartan. I have never done drugs but since I also have a degenerating disc in my neck I take ibuprofen for the pain daily. I have vicodin for night time only if I need it. I have only taken 2 from the prescription cause I don't want to be dependent on it. ## Hello, Dandy! How are you? You really need to consult with your doctor on this. Alcohol can be cardiotoxic and, if you imbibe too much, it can also elevate blood pressure, so it may not be safe f...

I stopped taking it because I could not get to the pharmacy. I gained 5 pounds in one day!! ## Hello, Abernathy! How are you? Yes, that can happen, if you stop taking it suddenly, due to rebound fluid retention, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience edema, elevated blood pressure and elevated heart rate. In the future, it would be best to pick up your refill early, to avoid running out. Have you had this checked out by your doctor? Fluid retention can lead to congestive heart failure, which is a very dangerous condition.

Have only been taking Lercanidipine for 2weeks and am suffering with severe constipation , never any bother before ## Hello, Molly! How are you? It's difficult to guess how any given medication will effect any one that takes it, because we are all different, but no, that is not a normal side effect of this medication as reported by the NIH. Its typical side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Has anything else changed recently, as in your diet, or fluid intake?

I take difene for arithritis just one a day, but I do have a dilation of the main arotic valve in the heart, it is safe for me. ## Hello, Margaret Ann! How are you? There can be some cardiac risks associated with taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, because some of the side effects the FDA lists that they can possibly cause include fluid retention and high blood pressure. Thus, depending on the severity of your condition, it may be dangerous for you to continue it. It would be best to double check with your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long will metoprolol asked Hatron been in the bottle for one year will it still be good to tank ## Hello, Clyde! How are you? If it's an a pharmacy dispensed bottle, then it is good for one year from the date you received it. If it's still in the original factory sealed bottle, it's good for about 4 years. After that time period, it begins to lose effectiveness and you should dispose of it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother who is 85 years old suffers from double vision. When she was taken to the eye specialist, he checked her eyes. He says it is due to her age. What could be the reason, he does not know. She had vertigo a few months back. Medicine was prescribed. Is it side effect of medicine for vertigo? ## Hello, Geeta! How is your mom doing? If the specialist felt that it was due to her age, then there's a very good chance that it is. As reported by the NIH, aging can cause many eye issues, including failing vision and blurred vision. As to the side effects of the medication, many of them can also cause vision problems, as side effects, according to the FDA, but I can't tell you anything specific, since you didn't mention which medication she was taking. Can you please post back a...

I do take metoprolol for my heart, but it still fluters once in a while. What causes it to do this? Why does it beat fast then go back to normal? ## From my records I was unable to find anything stating that your heart beat gets fluttered. Click on the link below to read side effects... Do you have any more questions or information to add? Please post back if you do. ## Sounds to me like you are in and out of atrial fibrilation. My husband has this problem (he is also on metoprolol as well as other meds including coumadin). You should get check out with a cardiologist as this can be treated in many ways. if left untreated, you run the risk of blood clots in your heart and lungs. ## Thanks Linda, that makes sense!

I have been taking a 10 mg tablet per day since early in 2015. I am suffering very cold hands and feet. Is this an effect of the pills? ## Yes, these medications can cause Raynaud's Phenomenon as a side effect, in some people that take it, as reported by the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Have you informed your doctor? There are alternative medications they can prescribe that are not as commonly known to cause it, as a matter of fact, some are used to help treat it.

Hey I been on this for two days and my head is Pouding in the back ## Hello, Jill! How are you? Yes, that can be a side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, increased urination and hypotension. Side effects should go away, with time, as your body gets used to the medication, which may take 4 to 5 weeks. If it doesn't improve or the headache becomes severe, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

How are you doing? Do you still have the edema? Is your regular doctor back, yet? Both of these medications can cause edema, so it's difficult to say which one is the culprit. As to stopping it, there can be risks associated with stopping one abruptly, as reported by the FDA, such as rebound high blood pressure and elevated heart rate. But severe edema also creates the risk of congestive heart ...

Is Ziac medication will damage my heart in a long run, my pulse rate before was between 60 and 70. Now that I'm taking this Ziac for my high blood pressure my pulse rate is between 47 and 55 usually it's low in the morning. My ex-husband was taking Ziac also for his high blood pressure and his pulse rate become so low from 44 down to 38, he went to the emergency room right away and the doctor decided to put a pacemaker connected to his heart. ## Hello, Rose! How are you? It is normal for this medication to lower your pulse rate, somewhat, that's part of how it helps your blood pressure. It relaxes the blood vessels, but should not do actual damage. If they installed a pacemaker for your ex-husband, then it's likely they found that his going that low was due to some other...
