It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness and stomach pain. Learn more Amlodipine details here. How high is your blood pressure?

Sunlight ## i have been taking amlod/benazp10-20mg capsule daily for over a year.when sumer hits i have bumps come up on back of my elbows where the sun hits.is this common? ## Amlodipine and Benazepril are the active ingredients in Lotrel, which is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Lotrel details here. And it may make you more sensitive to the sun and heat, so you do need to be careful. You should use a sunscreen and not stay out in the sun any longer than absolutely necessary. What David was describing sounds like it may be a heat rash, due to sun sensitivity, but it should be checked by a doctor to be certain. Are there any questions or comments?

turquoise capsule on one side stripe turquoise and white on the other ## In regards to posts such as this, there actually isn't enough information here to confirm whether or not the capsule in question was Propranolol. There is a Propranolol capsule that resembles this, but without knowing the markings on the one this person had, there's no way to be certain. Thus, if you want something identified, please include all markings that are on the capsules or tablets and someone will gladly check for you. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything I can help with? Learn more Propranolol details here.

My mom just started taking diovan for her hp and she has diabetes.Sence she has started taken it her sugar level has gone up to 200. Is there anyone else who is on diovan and has diabetes? Any input would be great!CArrie ## Diovan should not cause your mother's blood sugars to go up. Diovan works to protect her kidneys from renal failure, a common disorder with diabetes when not in tight control. She should be monitoring her blood sugars four times daily if they are high and be careful of what she is eating. ## Yes my Mother takes Diovan and has diabetes, since she started her pressure is really low(confused on that). she's 90 ## Yes, I called the company & they stated it should not affect my blood sugar, however, it was 200+ for the 2 days I took it.

My pharmacey told me there was a shortage and they don't know when they can get some. They called around and found some at a competing Drug store. Whats up? ## Maxzide contains Triamterene and Hydrochlorothiazide, it is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. Shortages of this drug combination were reported to the FDA and the ASH-SP on April 20, 2011 by Sandoz, Watson and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, however, they didn't give a reason for the shortage. It does, however, appear to affect all available dosages. Mylan and Watson estimate that their supply should be back on the market late this month, Sandoz said they should have the problem rectified early in May. Are there any questions? ## Well it is mid May and Target says it can't get this drug and I sh...

I just received my first mail order for perscriptions. In the past I received a generic (Amloddipine-benazepril) from the pharmacy that was a hot piink and white capsule. In the mail I received I received the same name different color capsule yellow/orange (348/RDY) respectively on it. Is it the same generic but a changed color because it is mail order? Both are provided by CVS and CVS.com. ## Hi Michele, The color of a medication doesn't usually have anything to do with its formulation. This one could possibly be from a different manufacturer. As long as it contains the same amount of ingredients as the last one you had, you should be just fine. If it really concerns you, you can always ask your doctor or a pharmacist. I hope this helps!

My doctor just changed my prescription of Benicar 20 to Losartan 50 because my insurance won't pay for Benicar. Plus I was having irregular heartbeat. Is this a good change? Or am I going to have problems? ## @Lee, I wish I could tell you, but honestly there's no way to know ahead of time how any drug might end up affecting you since everyone reacts and responds differently. As far as potential side effects go, Losartan does still carry the same/similar risks as Benicar. But this doesn't necessarily mean you'll still be experiencing them. The switch from one medication to the other shouldn't be too far off the edge, since both medications are in the same class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. They both work by blocking the action of certain ...

I've started bystolic a few weeks ago. My Dr changed the dosage and I am now on 15 mg a day at 8 hour intervals. Since taking this as instructed, I've had a burning sensation through my upper body, even up into my neck and head. I have had reflux issues, but I can't distinguish this from a possible side effect. My father died of a brain stem stroke, and this sensation creates a lot of anxiety for me. Does anyone else suffer from this burning sensation? It is not in my extremeties. Thank you! ## Have you consulted your doctor? You should consult them any time that you experience ofd symptoms, even if you think they are medication side effects. Nebivolol is a beta blocker, that is usually used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, but it generally causes...
