Are Metoprolol TAB 50 mg. ER (white) the same? as Metoprolol-TART 50 mg. TAB leg (pink)? What is the difference? ## I got a RX filled Small round pill with 831 and small arrow like symbol ## I have Metoprolol succinate extended-release (50 mg) white tablets but was prescribed Losartan 50mg Pot a green tablet. Are these the same. I just noticed this and I am urinating every hour day and night. I am 64 and take lipitor 10mg and Glimepiride 4mg each at one tab per day. ## In regards to the original post no, from what was listed those are not the same. The ER stands for extended release, which means the medication will be slowly released into the body over time, rather than all at once. The other tablet listed doesn't have anything showing that it's in such a formulation, which mean...

for over 3 weeks have had serious issues with my lips, tongue, overall inside mouth raw, and sandpaper texture...like plastic....severly dry all day and impossible at night. Tried all OTC products no avail....seems lisinopril MUST BE THE CAUSE> any one else. ## What is your current dosage? Lisinopril can cause dry mouth and dehydration, so yes, it could be the cause, however, your symptoms sound much more severe than normal. Have you contacted your doctor about this, yet? You will probably need a dosage reduction or a switch to a different medication. ## I have been getting swollen areas around the mouth which started about every other day and would disappear usually within 12 to 15 hrs. this happened for about 3 wks. then stopped for 1 month. Now it has started again first with upp...

When taking atenol chlor 100 can I also have grapefruit for breakfast? I heard taking blood pressure meds are toxic with grapefruit. I realize this med is quote-unquote not a blood pressure medication, but not sure though. ## Hello, Freeway 4356! How are you? Yes, this is a blood pressure medication, since it contain the Atenolol and yes, you should not be ingesting grapefruit while taking it.

Makes me feel bad at times. Cannot get a deep breath, have bad headaches about an hour after my treatments, I have to do 9 puffs 4 times per day. The headaches can last for hours. I take many types of medication before and after but have discovered that one Alka Seltzer tab in 2 oz of water takes it away. I don't like this med. I do have more energy though. I have stopped taking it, can't deal with the side effects. I had an echo cardio 2 weeks ago and tomorrow go to my pulmonary doctor for all the results. I am sure he won't be happy because I stopped. I have discussed it all with him before to no avail. Anyone the same? Talk to me. Only serious no jokes please. ## Hello, Kathleen! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problems that you were experiencing with this medi...

round white tab with the number on the pill831. I was taking metoprolol 50 mg xL can you tell me what's the different? ## There is no difference, they are both time released Metoprolol, the pharmacy has just referred to it in different ways, one as XL and one as ER. Do you have any other questions? ## Metoprolol Tab 50MG ER old bottle pills White with number M50 New pills white and larger size with number W735 ??? ## Richard, the only difference I could tell was the one with W 735 is Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release 50 mg. The one with the M 50 is Metoprolol Extended Release 50 mg (possibly tartrate). It is still basically the same beta blocker, high blood pressure medicine. I will verify with my doctor tomorrow that this is the same medicine. ## was taking Par 50 mg metoprolol...

what is the difference between these two drugs, E 49 (Hydrochlorothiazide and Losartan 25 mg / 100 mg) and Hyzaar 25 mg / 100 mg? Are they the same and if not why prescribe one over the other? ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? Hyzaar is the name brand, while the other is a generic that's just listed as the active ingredients, as all generics are and it really doesn't matter which one your doctor writes on the prescription pad. Unless there is some reason why you can only take the name brand, your pharmacy with automatically fill it with the generic. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension and dehydration. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I have had a mole under my left brow - one that I thought came from tweezers pinching - that has suddenly broken up into a series of very small moles under the brow and one small mole on the right brow. The lid on my of my left brow is red and seems a bit swollen. It isn't exactly painful, just a bit itchy and distracting. I take several medications for hypertension, but they have all been prescribed for a very long time.

I've been taking Cialis for a while with good results and I started taking losartan and now experience ED ## Hello, Corvette! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, it can cause that as a side effect in some people that take it. If the Cialis can no longer overcome it, then you should speak to your doctor, they should be able to prescribe something else that isn't known to cause ED as frequently. Is there anything else I can help with?

Would a Dr prescribe isosorbide to replace lisinopril or could it be in addition to lisinopril as one is for blood pressure and the other for chest pain? ## Hello, Martin! How are you? In this case the best thing to do would be to ask the doctor. The answer could go either way and we'd just be guessing. However, a simple call to their office should provide you with a fairly fast answer. They are frequently prescribed together, but that really depends on the diagnosis. What exactly are you being treated for?

I've been taking 100mg daily for three years. Seems to be working and dealing with most died effects I.e. Dizziness, fatigue etc. by taking the pill before bed so sleep through half a days worth of issue. I've tried several other meds that I could not tolerate so I've wanted to stick with losartan. The issue is that for the past 18 months the pharmacy continues to give me a large white pill from another manufacturer but I keep requesting the green oval pill. When I think the issue is finally resolved I found myself back at square one with them again. It's exhausting to hear them say we can try to special order,will mark your file. It's all been done before and still they ignore all the flags etc. how can I get the green oval pill without ten trips to the pharmacy bef...
