aMlodipine 5mg, octagonal, white. I have taking this drug for about six months. Several months later, I started having trouble with my gums--any relation? ## What kind of trouble are you having with them? Amlodipine can cause dry mouth, as a side effect and that can cause some dental issues, but it's a bit hard to say, without knowing the specific issue in question. Are they receding? Is it a gum disease? Learn more Amlodipine details here. I'll gladly see what other information I can find for you, if you can post back with more details!

Previously even with the other BP tablet I have taken for a few years I had no problems for hours. Unfortunately it was nod really doing anything to lower the BP so that is why Doctor asked me to go on the Zanidip. Within a few weeks the BP had fallen from around 155/95 to around 120/80. Perfect BP but... No other side effects whatsoever. I do exercise a lot, eat well and drink 1.5 liters of water per day minimum. My BP problem I am told is probably genetic because I have had a...

is it ok to be taking 10 mg lisinopril 10 mg amlodipine for blood pressure and just prescribed 240 propranolol for migraines ## Hi dolores, There is actually an interaction between the three of these medications. I wouldn't necessarily call it dangerous if you're taking each medication as directed by your doctor, but just for your information, the interactions state the following: Applies to Propranolol and Amlodipine: "MONITOR: Additive reductions in heart rate, cardiac conduction, and cardiac contractility may occur when calcium channel blockers are used concomitantly with beta blockers, particularly in patients with ventricular or conduction abnormalities. While this combination may be useful and effective in some situations, potentially serious cardiovascular adverse eff...

age-57cont B.P sometime120/80,140/90 and today is140/95.Advised nebicard5.Iwant to know about potency,that is,5/2.5mg. another wheather dependancy of medicine will occur. Should I start Nebicard5 ## What you need to understand first is that allowing your blood pressure to remain elevated and to continue to rise is far, far more dangerous than any possible dependence your body may develop on the medications for it, since it creates the risk of heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure and etc. That said, Nebicard contains the active ingredient Nebivolol, which is a beta blocker and the 5mg is a fairly low dosage, but yes, if you do take it for awhile, you will need to slowly taper off of it, if you ever have to stop taking it, due to the risk of rebound effects that it can cause.

Please suggest me about this product.NKTBKH ## This contains the active ingredient Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker. Learn more Metoprolol details here. And when are you checking your blood pressure? If you're doing it immediately on waking, then lower numbers are normal, because your body slows down to rest, at night when you're sleeping. Are you experiencing any symptoms, such as dizziness, or nausea? If not, then there is no reason to worry, those numbers are not dangerous on their own.

Is it safe to take o tropin while on lisinopril and simvastatin? ## O-Tropin reportedly contains a blend of natural amino acids and herbs. Although I find it strange that I cannot locate any specific details on what these ingredients are exactly. From my own past experience, most natural supplements tend to fair well when used in conjunction with prescription meds. So in my opinion it should be fine. But, you may have to be your own best judge in this case, since natural supplements are not regulated like prescription drugs; and therefore aren't classified in a way that compares possible interactions with each and every other medication. I hope this advice helps!

The pill I found was a thicker (3/16"), white, round (6/16") diameter pill with 93 marked on one side and 851 marked on the other side. I take Lisinopril, Furosemide and Carvedelol, and this pill does not match any of these 3 pills. What is it? Thank you. ## It's an older tablet, because TEVA no longer uses the number 93 on these, they changed it to actually read TEVA, several months ago. It contains 50mgs of Metoprolol, an beta blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, it is in the same class as your Carvedilol, but for many people it causes severe side effects. Are there any other questions or comments? ## metoprolol er succinate - beta blocker

This is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by several different companies and pharmacies will often switch which one they carry, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply.

Does anyone have experience in using .1 Clonidine on an as needed basis for someone who has good blood pressure usually but spikes up once or twice a month? If so, has it been successful? ## Well, the issue here is your not knowing when it is going to spike, nor how high it may spike, which of course creates the risk of heart attack, or stroke. If you have hypertension, you need to take a medication all the time, in order to get in under control. If you don't have hypertension and it is only raising occasionally, then that is perfectly normal. Our blood pressure will fluctuate throughout the day, depending on various activities.
