My father 82 is taking Almodac 5 in the morning and olmezest 10 in the night he is having excessive urination and also has diarrohea occasionally and feels drained what should he do kindly advice. Thanking you ## Hello, Sriram! How is your father doing? Virtually all of the blood pressure and cardiac medications can cause an increase in urination as a side effect, as well as diarrhea. However, the concern here with him feeling drained is that he may be getting dehydrated. How much water does he drink each day? Has he consulted his doctor about the problem?

I am taking amlong 5 and Ramistar 5 for high blood pressure and Dionorm m for diebetes (170-190) from last seven years. can I take it continuously ## Hello, Rana! How are you? You should take the medications as instructed by your doctor, for as long as they tell you that they are necessary. Yes, there can be some slight risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, but your risks would be far greater if you don't keep your medical conditions under control. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I am 55 and for last 1 year I have been taking Telma 40 and Amlodact 5 in the morning Atorva 5 at night. Now I am to face acute knee problem that benumbed me and prevents smooth walking, A friend of mine advises me to take Cal Mag D and stop Amlodac 5. Can I stop it and opt for some other medication? My blood right now is 146/86. ## Hello, Professor B! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However no, you shouldn't stop taking any of your prescribed medications, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. The Cal Mag D is just a nutritional supplement and if it's okay with your doctor for you to take it, there would be no reason to stop a medication due to taking it, anyway. Have you consulted your doctor, yet?

What do you take it to treat?

my mother has been prescribed with amtas-HT for bp 190/90.earlier she was taking REVELOL XL 25.but it could not lower her bp.does the new medicine have any side effects? ## Hello, Angelina! How are you? All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, it's just the nature of adding chemicals to the body to try to correct a problem. Amtas-HT contains the active ingredients Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dehydration. However, the important thing to remember is that she would be in far more danger if she doesn't take the medication to lower her blood pressure. Is there anything else I can help with?

They should be able to advise you in regards to something that would be safe for you to use.

its been 15 days since i have uncontrolled bleeding. i am a patient of PCOD. I am taking olmisartan 20mg for hypertension. can i take styptovit k for stopping my bleeding. i am 36 yrs old. married but unable to conceive. ## Hello, Rammi! How are you? Has the bleeding stopped, yet? Rather than trying to stop it with this, you need to see your doctor about the problem. May women with PCOD have a hormonal imbalance that can cause such an issue and often something such as a hormonal contraceptive is needed to rectify the issue.

my doctors prescription is has follows AMIODPINE 5MG,BENDROFUMETHIAZIDE 2.5 CANDESARTAN 8MG, HALF INDERAL LA 80MG, ## Hello, Doris! How are you? I understand your concern, many people worry, when they are prescribed multiple medications. However, the relevant question is, while taking them, what are your blood pressure levels and your heart rate? And how high was your blood pressure before taking them? If someone's blood pressure is dangerously high, they are often prescribe multiple medications to bring it down safely as fast as possible to get them out of danger. Then once they are stable at a lower blood pressure level, medications can be stopped or changed, as needed.

could this medication cause frequent urinal visit to washroom ## Hello, Mar! How are you? Yes, it certainly can.

Trying to find natural ways to lower my very -frightenly-high blood pressure ## Hello, Oinkygirl! How are you? Sorry about the blood pressure problem. However, if it is that high, you need to take medications to bring it down safely, as fast as possible. Otherwise, your life could be in danger. Please see your doctor immediately so they can prescribe the proper medications. Once you are on them and it starts to lower, you can then use natural methods to help and might eventually be able to get off all medications altogether. I really can't stress this enough, as long as it remains high, you are in serious, life-threatening danger. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but had bad side effects from the medication I had been prescribed and I didn't take it seriously, so I just...
