I am a heart patient. My cholesterol is under controlled by taking one tab of above in the evening after food/fruits. I am also under treatment for diabetis (two tabs of 30mg Diamicron MR in the morning}. I still suffer from pins and needles in my lower legs especially when I walk or do light exercise/swim. I am also on Casprin 100mg and high blood pressure pill (Atenolol 100mg daily). Is the combined "mix" OK? ## I'm sorry, what medication did you mean by one tab of the above? You posted this under the Atenolol forums. Without knowing what medication you are talking about for cholesterol, I can't check any information on that one, for you.

I had a RX for toprol, and the last time I mailed my request for a refill, they sent me metropolo. Is this a substitute for toprol? Thanks.

i am traveling in cambodia and there is an old man who has high blood pressure, as i am carrying 80mg slow release propanadol. is it ok to take. there is no medical care here. ## Propranolol is a beta blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiac problems. However, I am assuming that you're not a doctor, so your supplying medications and making a diagnosis is inappropriate. In addition, you would only be able to give a limited supply and, when he runs out, it is going to create additional problems for him, because these medications tend to have a rebound effect, when someone starts taking them abruptly. This could cause his blood pressure to go up even higher than it is, it could also cause heart palpitations and may require emergency care. Learn more:...

What Is The Difference Between Metropolol 25 mg Er And Metropolol 25 mgTart? ## The ER stands for extended release, that means that formulation of Metoprolol is slowly released in your body, over time, rather than all at once, like the standard medication that the other one is. Sometimes, when a patient is taking the regular release to treat high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, it helps, but doesn't keep it under control for a very long period of time and in those cases, it may be necessary for a doctor to switch someone to the time released formulation, to keep the medication in their body longer. Metoprolol is a beta blocker and may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, headache and stomach pain. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments?
