Hi,will angelique cause my BP to be lowered . I always has high BP but now since i started on Angelique ,my BP is low.Does it also cause stomach cramps , headaces and weeling weak. Is there a substitue for Angelique Thanks usha ## Hi, Usha! There is a chance that it may help to lower your blood pressure, because some blood pressure issues can be caused or aggravated by a hormonal imbalance. Thus, rectifying the hormonal imbalance also helps to correct the blood pressure problem. And yes, it can cause side effects like that, you may also experience acne, moodiness and weight gain. However, I don't know if there is a substitute there. Have you asked your doctor or pharmacist/chemist?

I have been using telma H 40/120 for almost two months. My pulse goes high, I get dry mouth, I feel weakness and breathlessness,. Could all that be side effect of Telma h that I am taking? ## Hi, Sadiq! Sorry about the problems you're having. What have your blood pressure levels been, since you've been taking it? And another question is, how much fluid are you drinking each day? The H in this stands for Hydrochlorothiazide and it's a diuretic that's used to remove excess fluid from the body. However, if it's removing too much, because you aren't taking in enough, it can lead to dehydration and that may be what's causing your symptoms. When on a medication like this, you should be taking in at least 64ounces of fluid daily, not including anything alcoholic or ...

I am 65 and have had hypertension treated sucessfully with Ibestartin 300/12.5, Amlodine 5mg and perindopril 5mg very successfully. Six weeks I had an emergency admission to hospital with incapacitating leg pain.and as a result had a microdiscectomy and forminotomy operation which was successful. As i have always monitored my BP I was concerned to see my BP increase to levels around 170/90. My doctor changed my medication to Coveram 10x10mg to counter this in place of Amlodopine and Perindopril, which I understand and agree with. Can you advise when results might be reasonably be seen with this increase in dosage. Also I take Zolpidem 5mg and as this is not always effective am considering also taking 2mg of Circadin prescribed by my doctor rather than increase Zolpidem. Is this a reason...

i have 2.5 mg concor and my doctor tell me to stop concor and change to olmesrtan 40mg Can i stop concor suddenly and use olmesrtan instead of concor or stopping of concor need with drawing? ## Hi, if your doctor has instructed you to just make the switch, there shouldn't be any problem. But feel free to double check with them to be certain. The problems, such as the rebound effects, usually occur when someone just stops such medications abruptly and isn't taking anything else to help control their medical condition. Olmesartan may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Learn more Olmesartan details here.

Taken Tritace for ten years and Hypertension has been controlled changed to Ramipril B/P now jumps up and down and at the moment extremely high. ## Ramipril is just the generic for Tritace, so there is no difference. Have you changed the dosage? After 10 years, it is possible that your body has just gotten used to the medication, so it is no longer working as well for you. Learn more Tritace details here. Have you contacted your doctor? You will most likely need a dosage adjustment or to try a different medication.

My mother is 70 years old, her blood pressure remains 160.90 after taking repace H also as prescribed by the doctor. Recently after taking this medicine the sodium content decreases rapidly and I admitted her in hospital and given NS through vein. Does the Repace H decrease the sodium? ## HI, Rajeev! Yes, the H in this stands for Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body, when fluid is removed in this manner, it also removes sodium and other electrolytes. That most likely means that it's too high of a dosage for her to take. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. Unless she has been suffering from a problem that involves excess fluid retention, such as edema or ascites, she may be better off taking a medication that doesn't contain a ...

What are your blood pressure readings at the time you get dizzy and lightheaded? It could be happening if it's going too low, or if you're dehydrated. Is it only happening in the morning? If so, that makes me suspect that it's likely going very low overnight and still low when you awake.

Hi. I've been on Bystolic for about two years, since shortly after a five valve emergency bypass. While taking it (and I'm on so many meds I have NO idea if the Bystolic is responsible for this) I've had SOB and just an incredible weakness in legs. Had LOTS of tests related to the SOB, and they were all good. No actual SOB according to the lung doctor. Now....I ran out of Bystolic about 2 weeks ago and keep forgetting to go get the refill. For the last 10 days or so, I've brief periods of dizziness, some morning headaches, some loss f appetite, and the SOB/weakness issue has gotten exponentially worse. I work for a public utility so I am outdoors all day, and perform somewhat strenuous work. For the last several days, walking up a slight incline or climbing about 25 feet...

What side affects may happen if I take 10mg of Amlodiine along with 100mg Losar Pot/hctz? ## HI, Marie! Has your doctor prescribed them both? Generally these types of medications work synergistically, which means that it can increase the lowering of blood pressure to more than you'd get if you were using just one of them. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. The Losartan with Hydrochlorothiazide combines an ARB with a diuretic. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, stomach pain and dehydration. You can learn more Amlodipine details here and there are more Losartan details here and you can find more Hydrochlrothiaizde details here.

Vamlo contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and yes, it can cause abdominal pain in some people that take it. Aplaket contains the active ingredient Ticlopidine, it's used to help prevent blood clotting, so it doesn't serve the same purpose as the Vamlo. Are you certain that's the one your doctor said to take? What are you taking it to treat? ## Doctor replaces vamlo with aplaket, stating that vamlo can cause abdominal pain. So I thought they serves the same purpose

the pharmacy put the label on in such a way that you cannot read the expiration date on the bottle without tearing it; the only thing that can be seen is the bar code with the numbers 8 0069-1540-68 8, a blue outlined box with 5283 in it, a partial 2-5 above a black box with 05-6819-32 underneath the black box, and a 9802 under a smaller bar code on the opposite side ## For tablets in a pharmacy dispensed bottle, the expiration date is one year from the date you received them from the pharmacy. :-) They last longer in the original factory sealed containers, but once that has been opened and they've been exposed to the elements that can cause degradation, the one year expiration applies. After that time, they begin to lose potency. Is there anything else I can help with?
