And can I take propranolol on an empty stomach? The reason I've not asked my doc these is that I never got a chance to, with all the panicing and now I can't contact one till tomorrow due to having no minutes. ## Hello, Chanika! How are you? It can be taken with or without food, so unless your doctor says otherwise, gauge it for yourself, if it makes you nauseous on an empty stomach, then it would be best to take it with food. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Coveram 10 for about 2 years and other blood pressure medication for about 7 years before that. I suffer from cold legs and the problem has been getting steadily worse so that they are cold even in 35 degree heat, and even when my feet get warm. I have been told by my TCM practitioner that my kidney energy is extremely low. Is there a connection with the kidney energy and blood pressure medication? I also have muscle cramps in my legs and feet. ## Hello, Duffiana! How are you? Yes, the medication could be causing Reynaud's syndrome, I've had it happen to me before with a couple that I tried, as well. Have you consulted your doctor? You'll likely need to switch to a different high blood pressure medication. As to the TCM and kidney energy, I am sorry, but I...

Gaining weight could actually worsen either condition and put your health more at risk.

How are you? Adding potassium is often necessary when someone is taking this medication, since the Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body. So, you should take it according to your doctors instructions and just make sure that they are checking your levels regularly, via a blood sample. Is there anything else I can help with?

Was taken 1 tablet daily of bisoprolol/hctz tab 10/6.25. My Dr changed med to lisinopril tab 20mg once a day. Would two tabs of bisoprolo above be the same as the lisinopril? ## Hello, Jack! How are you? No, they are not the same going by what you've listed. The Bisoprolol/HCTZ actually contains 2 ingredients, the Hydrochlorothiazide being a diuretic, so your doctor has basically removed that and has you just taking a blood pressure medication, now. Did your doctor say why they were making the changed?

I found an unopened bottle of Diovan (90 tabs) in my medicine cabinet. It got pushed back by my more current orders. It expired 5 months ago; are they still good? ## Hello, Ann! How are you? They don't get dangerous once past the expiration, but they do begin to lose effectiveness. Are they in a factory sealed bottle or one from your pharmacy? The factory sealed ones usually have a longer expiration date. ## Thank you Verwon. I was told it is still good until the end of the year so I started taking it right away. At least my 3-month supply won't be wasted.

Plz help what is this??? ## Hi Rae, Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm finding is a round white pill marked with "G" over "421" on one side, and blank on the other. There is also a horizontal score line on the side with the markings. This particular pill is identified as a 2.5mg Midodrine HCl tablet; which is used to treat hypotension. If there is in fact a "C" on your pill as well, then I'm not sure what it might be... but if you could please double check the imprint that would be great. NOTE: the size of the pill is also supposed to be approximately 7.00 mm I hope this info helps!
