I am taking Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide 10-12.5. I have been taking it for about 1 yr now. Over the last few month, when I get heated and sweat, I get a severe itching sensation over my entire body. Almost unbearable, but it subsides when I cool down. Could this be a side effect of this medication. ## Yes, there is a possibility that it is from the medication. Medications such as this, which are commonly used to help treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, work by having an effect on your circulatory system. Thus, it is very common to see side effect warnings about developing cold extremities, even in normal temperatures and etc. What you may be experiencing could be the opposite effect, when you get warm, more blood is rushing towards the surface of your skin and creating ...

I have been taking concor 5mg for 1.5 years. I have HOCM and im not sure if i took my medication today. Will anything happen if i just wait for the next dose, as I don't want to take one now and then it might be an overdose, so bettter be safe and just wait for my next dose. Is that correct? ## What did you end up doing? Concor contains the active ingredient Bisoprolol, which is a beta blocker that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. And missing a dose could cause a dangerous rebound effect that may result in severely elevated blood pressure and heart rate, so it's very important to be careful that you take all doses each day, exactly as prescribed.

it's a round white pill with a re 76 and a line through it and the other side is blank it's a mideum sized pill could you tell me what it is plz ## The pill in description is identified as Metoprolol tartrate (100 mg), which is used in the treatment of several diseases of the cardiovascular system, especially hypertension.

SUFFERING FROM BLOODPRESSURE AND HEART TROUBLE ## Sir, I am having high blood pressure since 1996. Started with Nuril 2.5mg, the dose had to be incresed from time to time as the BP increased. Recently BP went as high as 170 / 115. Now I am taking Arkamin(Clonidine 100 mg) thrice + Tide 10(Torsemide) once+Tozaar R 5 twice + Amlopress AT once a day, yet the BP varies between 120 / 80 and 150 /90. I play tennis almost regularly and it may be a coincidence or overexertion that my BP rises at night when I have tough games in evening. Is my heavy medication likely to damage some organs in the body? How the BP can be controlled in my case? Warm regards R G Soni ## What is the difference between Tozaar H & Tozaar R-5. How long Peritol 4mg can be taken safely. ## I am having amlopress AT tab...

I think it may be for bladder infections. ## It's an AZO pill. OTC med for pain associated w/ UTI's. ## Just to confirm, I have also identified the brown pill with the W imprint as Azo urinary pain relief; which contains Phenazopyridine hy...

Which is stronger of those 2 water pills? ## Hi Rita, Imprint Z 2083 has been identified as Hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg). Imprint M35 has been identified as Chlorthalidone (25 mg). Quoted below is some information I found on government website comparing Hydrochlorothiazide and Chlorthalidone: "Thiazide diuretics are a mainstay for the treatment of hypertension. Although there are several thiazide diuretics currently available, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) continues to be the most popular thiazide used for treating high blood pressure. This is despite several clinical trials that have used and documented the benefits of chlorthalidone for hypertension management. In terms of blood pressure lowering, both HCTZ and chlorthalidone appear to be very effective. Head-to-head studies have show...

Has anyone had burning of hands and feet and callouses on hands and feet from edarbi? ## Edarbi (Azilsartan Medoxomil) doesn't appear to list any such symptoms as a possible adverse effect. However it does sound to me like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the drug. I could be wrong in assuming this, but there are no side effects stating otherwise. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, the patient prescribing information recommends getting medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Edarbi Details Were you ever able to confirm that the symptoms y...
