difference between hexal Lisinopril 20mg and Prexum 4mg ## (Aside from the obvious dosage difference of 20mg of Lisinopril and 4mg of Prexum) - While both of these medications are in the same drug class with the same purpose of lowering blood pressure, the primary differences lie within the chemical makeup of each drug, as well as the addition of certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each tablet. Both of these factors play a detrimental role as to how each drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one medication over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. I hope this helps! ## Thank you, My Clinic argue that they are the same as far as strength is con...

are there any reactions between hydroclorotiazida and olmesatan ## Combining the two medications increases the risk of hypotension, which is the desired effect in some cases, when someone has resistant high blood pressure. That's why these types of medications are often used together in one tablet or capsule. Has your doctor directed you to take them?

Vet prescribed this in 5mg dose. Pills received say 341 on one side and have no marking on other side. They are approximately 1/4 inch in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Other batch of pills are closer to 1/8 inch in diameter, being much smaller. Are the larger pills 5mg? Vet's office had no info on who the manufacturer was ## I haven't been able to find a listing for a tablet with just a 341 on it, there is a 5mg Benazepril with ETH on one side and 541 on the other. However, if this was something specially formulated for use in animals, it may not be in the prescription drug databases, since they are generally only relevant to human use. Didn't the vet's office have the original packaging? That should list who the manufacturer is.

Is Coveram 5mg +5mg Have Any Interactions with Grapefruit or grapfruit juice ? ## Hi Nick, The answer to your question is Yes, One or more of the active ingredients found in Coveram does have an interaction with Grapefruit in general. The interaction mentions that the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice may slightly increase plasma concentrations of the drug; particularly the ingredient "Amlodipine". At this point in time, data regarding this issue has been conflicting and the clinical significance is unknown. Monitoring for calcium channel blocker adverse effects (e.g., headache, hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, edema) is recommended though. I hope this information helps!

Thus, I can only advise that you check with your doctor, before using it. Depending on what it contains, such as Vitamin K, it may not be good for you to take with Clopidogrel, because it can affect the clotting factor of your blood. Have you discussed using it with your d...

Can you take anxipram with metoprolol? ## Anxipram contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and mixing it with the Metoprolol can cause some problems, so it's usually not advised. It can increase how much of the Metoprolol is absorbed, which could cause severe low blood pressure and possible AV block. What has your doctor advised?

I recently got off this drug because of a cough and serious kidney problems. Has anybody out there had kidney issues. New meds hace brought my kidneys back somewhat. But will never be the same. ## Kidney problems from Lisinopril are rare, but they have been reported to occur in some people that take it. In many cases it has the complete opposite effect and is given to help protect the kidneys from other medical conditions and medications. What medications are you using now? ## Amlodipine 5 mg. Kidneys got better after I started taking this. Dr said it was dehydration but I think it was the meds or both. GFR went from 41 to 50 after taking for only 10 days. Always was 60. Boy was I scared.

I had muscle pain and I was getting this pain frequently. Is this prescription right? Are there any side effects? ## I actually found an article on the side effects of Defcort (Deflazacort), which may be helpful to answering your question about pain: livestrong.com/article/268202-side-effects-of-deflazacort From what I could gather, patients who use this medication excessively or for a prolonged period of time may develop a condition called Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms associated with this condition include severe fatigue, increased blood sugar, bruising, back or body aches, weakness, elevated blood pressure or upper body weight gain, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Patients who exhibit symptoms of Cushing's syndrome during deflazacort t...

I was diagnosed for hypertension, i was administered pritor plus 40mg. my bp went down but as day goes by, i'm feeling weak...what seems to be the problem..thank you ## Have you contacted your doctor? There are actually several possibilities for what could be causing your symptoms. Pritor Plus contains Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic, it helps treat hypertension by removing fluids from the body, along with Telmisartan, which is an ARB. That means that the first possibility is that your symptoms could just be due to side effects from taking it, it can cause nausea, drowsiness and dizziness. The second possibility is just your body adjusting to the lower blood pressure, when you're used to running high, it is normal to feel such effects, when it's brought down. The th...
