I am only 27 year old . but I am suffering from hypertension. My doctor prescribed me ramipril 5mg. Unfortunatly I read on net about ramipril and telmisartan that they causes cancer. After knowing that I am totally disturb. I am too afraid that I am not taking medication. It seems to me that I will die with fear. Persons who are taking ramipril from long time plese help me. Plese told me their experiences and save my life. Plese help me ## The chances of them causing cancer is very, very remote. However, your risk of suffering a stroke, heart attack, or congestive heart failure from not treating your high blood pressure is very, very high! Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

my mother has been taking Lupdip 2.5 for for blood pressure problem. The Dr. has sudenly prescribed her TELSAR BETA 50MG TAB for high blood pressure. how long will she continue with tis drug. ## normally a drugs is changed to provide a better control over the specified disease and most often it is done when the previous drugs can no more control the condition ,hence we require a better drug to keep the pressure in the normal range.

difference between diovan 320mg & metoprolol 50mg Will metoprolol do the same job ## The Diovan contains the active ingredient Valsartan, which is an ARB, while the Metoprolol is beta blocker and it usually takes a lower dose of it to achieve the same results. They both carry the risks of very similar side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and headache. You can learn more at the following links: They both are used to treat high blood pressure, but are different types of medications and work differently. Why has your doctor suggested the switch?

I am 31, my Dr. diagnosed my with a leak in my heart back in April. He suggested that I take Metorpolol tartrate 25mg twice a day. Its a small round pill, scored in the middle for splitting with M18 on the other side. I have just decided to take it and with in two weeks I have lost 20% of my hair. I had long thick dark hair and now it is already thin and I can almost see right through it. I really want to stop taking this medicine. I have experienced some sharp pains across my head, lots of nausea, and sleepyness and difficulty focusing and many other complications. Has anyone else had these problems? ## I was recently put on this same pill (Mylan version) 1 month ago. I have seen hair around my sides come out, tiredness, cold feet & dizziness.

can you overdose on this medication ## It's possible to overdose on any medication, if you take too much of it. Bisoprolol is a beta blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Since it does have an effect on heart function and circulation, taking too much of it can result in severely lowered blood pressure and heart rate, either of which could put someone in danger of death. Are there any comments or questions?

round white pill w/209 on one side and blank on other side ## I'm sorry, I can't find this listed in any of our resources. Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere? Does anyone know anything about this tablet? ## I have the same pill and it is amlodipine--or that is what it is supposed to be. for high bloodpressure.. I am going to contact my druggest and find out for sure... he has given me the wrong pills before.. ## It is Amlodipine Besylate (brand name is Norvasc), but the white pill with the 209 is a generic version. It's for hypertension and sometimes angina. I think it generally comes in 5mg and 10mg doses. ## Thanks. Amlodipine it is. I overlooked that bottle.

I take a pill twice a day. Is each pill 50 mg, or combined they equal 50mg? ## Hi Connie, What is the imprint on the pills that you take? There are 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg pills available. Based on your description I can only assume that they are 50mg, but would need to look up the imprint for verification. If you are taking this medication for high blood pressure, the usual dosage for metoprolol is extremely patient specific and should be individualized. The typical initial dosage of metoprolol is 100 mg daily in a single or divided dose as determined by your health care provider. The dose may then be increased weekly until the goal blood pressure is achieved. The dosage range for metoprolol is 100-450 mg per day. You should consult with your doctor to determine which dose of metoprolol ...

I am taking Indopril once a day as a preventative treatment as I am a type 2 Diabetic. I have normally low blood pressure anyway which is genetic in my family. I now find it almost impossible to attain an erection since I started to take these tablets. My ballance when driving also seems to be effected. Are these common side effects? ## Indopril contains a derivative of Perindopril, which is an ACE inhibitor and it really makes no sense for you to be on it, if your blood pressure is normally low. Yes, it can cause erectile dysfunction and the balance issue might be due to your blood pressure dropping too low. Have you talked to your doctor about this? What dosage do they have you on? Have you considered getting a second opinion? ## Thank you very much for your reply, it confirms what I ...

Mine are Purple made by Sandow, old ones were gray, do I have the same medicine? ## is safe to take amlod/benazp metronidazol @doxycycl together ## Susan, in order to check that for you, I need a little more information. What are the markings on the tablets in question? Elaine, there are no interactions listed, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain.
