is amlodyne the same drug as amlodipine? ## So far I haven’t been able to verify that they are both the same. Can you please post back where you obtained this from? It could very well be a foreign medicine, perhaps an equivalent to what is available in the United States. ## I've been told that the amlodyne was a misspelling of amlodipine as heard over the telephone - sorry for the red herring

I was taking Benicar HCT and had to change because it caused a chemical induced Hepatitus. Which had me in the hospital for a 3 day stay with really bad stomach pains. A Liver specialist believes the cause was the Benicar HCT. ## Are you off of the Benicar HCT, if so, what other prescription were you placed on? I seemed to be having soreness through out my stomach area along with my lower regions. But I am taking Lisprinol, the generic version of Benicar ## Lisinopril is not the generic for Benicar, the generic for Benicar is Olmesartan. The name brand for Lisinopril is Prinivil or Zestril.

I have noticed unusual symptoms if I forget to take my 225mg dose of Avapro in the morning(which I've done on 3 or 4 occasions over the past 2 years). Also, I recently lowered the dose to 150mg. After 4 days of this, I was in a very nervous state. Because the nervousness was becoming unbearable, halfway through the 4th day of just taking the 150mg, I decided to take the 75mg tablet as well to bring me up to my regular daily dose and, within an hour, my nervousness subsided. Has anybody else had a similar experience? ## Your body gets used to anything that you ingest regularly, be it a prescription drug or your morning cup of coffee and if you suddenly lower your dose or stop taking it, you will suffer some withdrawal effects.

I will tell you, however, that there aren't usually coupons or samples for generic drugs.

treatment for hyper tension ## This is a betablocker used to help lower blood pressure. ## My blood pressure soared and my heart was wooshing with a very rapid beat and my head felt like it was going to blow off - I also felt pressure in my neck ... it was alarming. I went to the doctor and had a BP of 170/110 (yikes) ... he put me on BIstolic and 36 hours later my heart rate was down to normal and my BP was 108/70, What a relief. I've had a very mild headache but no other side effects at all.
