i notice that it may cause drowsiness...i can't remember if i should take it at night or in the am... ## should I take Metoporol at night or in the morning? ## In regards to this question, since it is asked very frequently, you really have to see when it works best for you. Normally, your doctor prefers that it be taken in the morning, so it can help control your blood pressure or heart condition during the time of day when you are most active and will normally experience the most fluctuations. Learn more Metoprolol details here. However, if it causes too much drowsiness, it may be necessary to take it at night, but make sure to check with your doctor, first. Are there any other questions that I can help with?

If you've been taking the same medication for 14 years, it's highly possible that your body has built up a tolerance to it and it's just not working as well for you, as it used to. You may need to switch to a different medication. Do you take it for hypertension or for a different condition? Learn more Atenolol details here.

Now it is 80&130 mg. Now my Doctor has advised me to change the doses as olmesar H 40 mg in the morning after break fast &stamlo 5 mg in the night. ## All medications carry the risk of side effects, even over the counter products that you can buy in an store.

I have been taking Quinapril for many years, but cannot get it in Malaysia, so now take Perindopril. I have also suffered from occasional gout for years - but recently attacks have become much more frequent (every couple of weeks). Could this be the Perindopril? ## Yes, it certainly may be due to the Perindopril. Most blood pressure medications can cause excess uric acid levels that result in gout and sometimes you have to play around to find one that works for you, without being a literal pain. Learn more Perindopril details here. Do you have a doctor there that can help you find a different medication? Because you may be better off staying away from this drug class to avoid the issue. ## am a diabetic 59 yrs male. on metformin & gibenclamide for diabetes for 9 yrs and simvastatin ...

Are there harmful side effects when taking Metropol Tar 25mg along with Staxyn 10mg. The Stxyn is for ED and the Metropol is being used for blood pressure problems. ## There are no interactions listed between these two medications from what I can find. However, you should be careful using them, because if your blood pressure is on the low side, then this could make it go even lower and you may experience severe dizziness, drowsiness and a low heart rate. Thus, please make sure that taking them both is okayed by your doctor, before doing so. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Learn more Staxyn details here. Is there anything else I can help with?
