i was prescribed diovan 320 mg htc norvitis and diovan 320 mg valsartan, are these the same drug ## No, they are not really the same. The Diovan HCT combines the ARB medication Valsartan with the diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide, which removes excess fluids from the body. The regular Diovan just contains the ARB medication Valsartan. Are there any comments or questions?

I have been taking half a tab of Seloken XL 25mg each morning for the last 3 years for high bp and my bp remains 130/90. Do I need to continue taking this or should I consult my doc for a change of medicine? ## Seloken XL contains the active ingredient Metoprolol in a time release formulation, it is most commonly used to help control high blood pressure. You definitely need to keep taking the medication and consult with your doctor regarding any changes. That is still not a normal blood pressure reading and stopping this medication abruptly can cause severe health problems, such as sudden blood pressure spikes, cardiac problems and heart attacks.

It is a small, white, round pill. On one side, it has Z3 imprinted on it. And on the other side -l- like you're able to cut it into 4ths. What is this pill? ## I am not finding one that has this marking and is scored. The only one I can find contains 5mgs of Amlodipine and has a smooth back, though it is possible that they changed it. It is most commonly used to help lower blood pressure. Was it found in the U.S. or elsewhere?

May I know if Vamlo 5mg (which I can buy in my area) is a good replacement for Stamlo 5mg (which I cant get now)?

I've been on Benicar 20mg. for 1 mo. and just had it upped to 40 mg. B/P is coming down; but I have daily sinus-type headaches and serious shoulder/neck muscle pain. Is this normal? ## Yes, those are normal side effects for most blood pressure medications. I've been experiencing something similar and I just started Atacand a few days ago, it is in the same class of medications. These types of side effects usually wear off once your body adjusts to the medication, but you may experience them, again, whenever you are put on a higher dosage. From 20mgs to 40mgs is a pretty high jumps, so it is not surprising that you are getting some side effects. These medications are usually titrated up very slowly.
