The only side-effect I have had to Tribenzor is in my wallet. It controls my blood pressure well, but can't afford it. It has Amalodepine in it. Amalodepine makes my joints, especially my feet swell and hurt. I was in a walker, on crutches, or in a wheel chairwhen I used it. It has Hidroclorothiazide in it (HTZ). Don't know of any problems I had with it. Has another one I can't spell either, but I have had no known problems with it. What can I take that will control my blood pressure, and still let me walk? ## Hello, Steve! How are you?

Liofen 10 Pills are round, white with SUN imprint on one side, scored on other side. Is this chemically similar to Baclofen? Arkamin brand Clonidine is scored, round white and imprinted with ARKAMIN.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and drowsiness. Learn more Liofen details here. I also can't comment on their safety and efficacy, since I have no information on their validity, efficacy testin...

Been on Ramipril 2.5mg for eight years or more and new Dr.changed them to 5mg.I have recently had a blood test to check kidney function/liver,etc and had a call from Dr.to say my potassium levels were high....is this due to the increase in strength of the Ramipril?

It may cause side effects, such as: dizziness, headache, nausea and stomach pain. In your cause, your systolic number of 100 is actually low, however, the diastolic of 120 is very high.

As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, increased urination and hypotension. And yes again, you may need a diuretic, but only your doctor can tell you that, you may also need to switch to a different medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking lercanidipine sandoz 10mg for a week now but my blood pressure has gone up not down. This morning 191/116 never ever been this before was 150/100 before. Is this normal? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? No, that is not normal, you should start to see a gradual improvement, with its full efficacy level reached around 4 to 5 weeks. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, stomach pain and hypotension. However, not all medications work for everyone that takes them, so you may need to try a different blood pressure medication. What time of day are you checking it? Are you also watching your diet to avoid excessive sodium and fat?

I took 4 clonidines at 1:30 and the doc descirbed 2-3 and I heard these wouldn't hurt you it would just make it better but about 30 minutes later, I was knocked out and I woke up at 7 pm. So I decided to get up and I couldn't feel myself moving, but I was, and I went to get dinner and my eyes were seeing silver and black spots everywhere, and next then I know I'm on the ground with a chair on top of me!

When was the generic form of Exforge 10-320mg tabs become available to the public ## Hello, Kim! How are you? It was just approved in 2007, so it will likely be several more years, before a generic is available. The exclusive patent rights for prescription medications usually last for about 20 years, then they can file appeals to prevent generics from being released for even longer periods of time. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, increased urination and hypotension. If it is too expensive for you, there are similar medications that are available as generics, so you may want to ask your doctor about them. Is there anything else I can help with?
