Question? My doctor prescribed Bisopr/hctz tab 10/6.25 and Lisinopril 20 mg. The directions are to take 1 tablet twice a day. Does this mean take one pill in the a.m. and one in p.m? ## it generally mean that yes. usually 12 hours apart or around a bout. ## Basically, if the prescription does not specifically say to take it every 12 hours, then you should take it when you wake up, or with breakfast and then take the next dose at dinner time.

verapmill ## Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker, used to treat several types of cardiovascular issues. It is the generic, so in and of itself, there are no others available. There are other calcium channel blockers on the market, try talking to your doctor if you are having problems with Verapamil, so you can discuss the other options available.

round pink pill with M 544 on one side and blank on the other side ## Yes, this is a generic for Accuretic. When a drug is available for generic production, it is usually made by many different companies, all looking to get a cut of the money from sales. Most pharmacies do not stock any one particular generic, they stock whatever their supplier has cheapest when they need to order a new supply. With some pharmacies, you never get the same generic twice in a row.

Could you tell me where (country) Toprol pills are manufactured? ## this site does not sell nor manufacture any medications, this is an information only website. ## It may help you to know that the brand name Toprol XL is manufactured in the United States by AstraZeneca. If you are taking generics, however, then that may not apply. Generic forms of meds may be manufactured in a number of countries, but the best way to tell would be to post if there are any specific letters or numbers appearing on the pill. If it is made in the U.S. then we will be able to verify based on that information. Also, if you could include in your post where you obtained the meds from (whether it was a web site, a pharmacy, etc), that would help. ## Hi Michael, Per your email description "I got the pills fr...

Round white pill w/no markings or scorings.smaller than clonidine about size and shape of zolpideum(generic ambien) I have found two in the house please help to ID ## Sorry, if there are no markings then it is impossible to positively identify it. All prescription drugs that are legally sold in the US are required to have individual imprints to enable their ID, according to manufacturer, active ingredient and dosage. With no markings, I would think it is possibly something over the counter, unless it is a drug from a foreign country.

none ## Can you please post more details such as the dosage, any letters or numbers appearing on the pill, shape, color, size, etc ? If we have more specific details then we'll be able to give a definite answer. Many times the same drug can have a variety of appearances, especially in the case of generic drugs. Every individual manufacturer, as well as every different dose can vary in appearance. ## In addition to the variance in appearance, they are required by law to have different imprints, this enables them to be identified by manufacturer, dosage and active ingredient.
