Metoprolol Succinate ER 50 MG TAB, white, elipitical, 69E, scored to indicate half. Please advise re warnings of absorbency (e.g. kidneys), interactions, and any problems with dividing in half. I also need any pharaceutical sheet references. ## Number on my pill is 369 and it is more than 3X the size of one I have from a different company. What extra is in your pill that makes the need for it to be SO large?? ## this site does not manufacture medications, so we did not make the pill you are referring to. My guess, however, would be that it contains more inactive ingredients than some of the others on the market, making it a bit larger. ## How do I find out about the inactive ingredients? I don't want to take more stuff than I need to, it just ups the odds of having a reaction. ## Yo...

SMALL YELLOW PILL, LETTERS MIGHT BE PAF, NUMBER IS 117 ## Good pill.... bad medicine ## I have solved the mystery about the yellow pill, thanks to this site. Now, I'm a little upset with the facts. My husband suffers from a neurological illness, involving his brainstem. It's been a very difficult road for him, dealing with the problems that cannot be prevented. I am angry because the pill about which I had inquired here has turned out to be a good medication, but very bed medicine for my husband. One of his problems is that his brain makes him waste sodium; a problem we have been able to handle by being very careful. After a recent neurosurgery, he was also having trouble with a very erratic blood pressure. He was initially put on Lisinopril, but upon discharge he was given an a...

They changed my generic Ramipril to another with markings RDY 441. I was on generic Ramipril ( called Colbolt ) and it was working just fine for my high blood pressure. But this new generic brand does't help my blood pressure at all. I was told this could be a copy generic, what does that mean? Also the pharmacy told me that they can't get the Colbolt Ramipril anymore. Does anyone know what I am talking about ? Thank You ## yes i know what you are talking about. my ramipril is from cobalt. and yes you can still get it from walmart. watch closely these parmacies because they lie to you. ## RDY 441 does contain 10mgs of Ramipril, a generic for Altace. The problem you may be experiencing is due to the fact that generic medications are allowed to differ from the name brand in the ac...

What experiences have you had using lisinopril? I started using it 20mlg in the am. I think I am doing better using 10 in the AM and 10 in the PM? ## My doctor prescribed 40 mg. Lisinopril for my high blood pressure. Within a day, my pulse was under 50 and my bp was always under 90/50. I complained and he lowered it to 20 mg. daily. That is a little better, but now I'm having heart palpitations and dizziness. I think he's trying to kill me. If your doctor doesn't take your complaints seriously, you MUST switch doctors! I am going to this week. ## When they gave it to me in the hospital, last week, it caused a horrible headache and nausea. I was miserable. Lisinopril is used to help lower blood pressure.
