I have been taking Sandoz lisinopril 40mg oval pink pill for many years imprinted with E104 and my BP has been stable. Now the pharmacy changed it to the round lisinopril 40mg pink pill imprinted with same E104. My blood pressure is not being maintained now it fluctuates all over the place. I take it daily. Are there different fillers or inactive ingredients that is not agreeing with my system? I am a registered nurse so I know this is not the norm. ## Hello, Veletta! How are you? Actually, fluctuations are normal and you should see them, especially if you have caffeine, engage in physical activity or etc. For instance, if you're working and on your feet all day, it should be slightly higher than it is later, when you're home and at rest. This is true for any active person. The ...

I have been taking the Sandoz version of valsartan/hctz (80/12.5) for YEARS with no problems. Recently, my pharmacy switched to the Aurobindo version. I feel like it's doing nothing (or little). I thought that the bioequivalency for generics was mandated by law. Did I get counterfeit drugs at Rite-Aid? Nevertheless, the pharmacy was skeptical but accommodating. They faxed over the request to my incredible GP whose office responded within the hour. I can now pick up my Sandoz version again. Anybody else have a similar experience? ## Hello, Kenny! How are you? Did you just feel like it wasn't working, or did you actually check your heart rate and blood pressure to find out? Generics do have to be bioequivalent. But without actually checking, after taking it for a few days, there...

Adult male here. About 5 years ago i quit drinking. Anxiety, panic attacks, migraines and PTSD resurfaced. Went to the doctor and the waiting room triggered me. As a normal physiological response to a perceived threat, my BP rose. Now in the doctors office, they look at my BP and say "wow it's so high!" I try to explain but since it wasn't on file... got prescribed propranolol. 10mg twice a day. Would get migraine in the afternoon so this was increased to 10mg 3 times a day / every 6 hours.

I am suffering with muscle pains from my shoulders to my wrist on the left and right sides; and from the lower parts of my buttock down the back of my leg. I had been taking the above prescription for more than two weeks. I am also very sluggish, tired, and depressed. My hair is shedding at an alarming rate, the front is nearly ball.

In January i noticed a flat red rash on the inside lower leg. After many blood tests (all negative) and seeing doctors and dermatologists i couldn't find anyone who knew what it was. My lower legs are now very swollen with fluid. I recently paid to see a new dermatologist who examined my skin from head to foot and knew immediately that the cause was Felodipine. I told my doctor this and he has reduced the dose from 5mg to 2.5mg. Since this i have had a copy letter from dermatologist to suggest stopping the medication for 6 weeks. I would like anyone's thoughts on this. I have not heard anything frim GP so feel like stopping taking this completely. ## Have you set up an appointment with your GP, or did you just send them a copy of the letter from your dermatologist?

whats this med for ## a doctor in the hospital prescribed this medication when I was released. I was in for detox - alcholism. ## This is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. It is common for someone to experience elevated blood pressure, when detoxing, so it may have been prescribed as a precautionary measure. Were you prescribed any other medications?

I have a little fat round peach colored pill with a line down one side and L and 165 under that on the other side. ## Hi K, I located a round peach colored pill with a score line on one side and the letter "L" over "165" on the other side to be a 0.3mg Clonidine hydrochloride tablet. Clonidine is most commonly known for its use in treating high blood pressure. However, certain formulations can also reportedly treat ADHD and cancer pain. According to MedlinePlus.gov, Clonidine treats high blood pressure by decreasing your heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily through the body. They go on to state that Clonidine extended-release tablets may treat ADHD by affecting the part of the brain that controls attention and impulsivity. Labeler:...

Can metoprolol 100 cause ear pain ## Hi Roy, Metoprolol doesn't appear to list any adverse effects associated with ear pain in particular. However I have noticed a number of reports from users taking this medication who experienced what they call a "pulsating/ringing/buzzing" sound in the ear. That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it does cause ear pain in some patients as a result of this low/high pitch frequency. If it has become too bothersome or severe, I would just suggest contacting your doctor and/or reporting it to the FDA's MedWatch (Adverse events) program online at fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch. Do you think the ear ache could possibly be related to something else as well? Or does it only happen when you take this medication? ## I have been on metoprolol ...
