tecterna 150 mg ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs. The only thing I can suggest is that you try asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. ## This drug is actually spelled Tekturna, and it is FDA approved earlier this year. If you Google Tekturna there are numerous websites on it.

small oval tablet supposed to be metoprolol er 25 mg, but is different from previous (much smaller) generic for Toprol XLCB1D ## It is, indeed, just another generic, Metropolol 25mgs. There are no guidelines saying that all pills of the same dosage must look the same or be the same size. The way they look and the size is entirely up to the manufacturer.

WHITE HAS C15 ON THE BACK. OVAL SHAPE ## Pill Image This is Benicar 40mgs, Olmesartan. This is used to help lower and control high blood pressure. ## In addition to lowering blood pressure, Omesartan, also known as Benicar, has a tremendous affinity for the Vitamin D receptor (VDR). It is able to re-activate receptors that have become blocked by other substances including excess vitamin D precursors and a bacterial metabolite called capnine. These prevent the VDR from functioning to produce natural antibiotic compounds and control other important processes. Olmesartan helps to reverse the blockage - it's a very important drug with effects that go way beyond blood pressure reduction and clearly can be helpful for many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Research is active in this...

for high blood pressure. need to know the bad effects of this pill ## I'm five weeks pregnant, and I stop taking benecar 5 days ago when I felt that I might be pregnant..do you think there might be effects to my baby i need to be concerned of, I'm scared ## There are very few drugs that have any effect on a baby that early in pregnancy, I would suggest speaking to your doctor though, regarding your safety concerns, that way they can check and see if it is safe for you to continue its use while pregnant. According to its info page, it should not be used in the latter stages of pregnancy, so your doctor should help you find a safe alternative mediction. ## my heart md says to take the benecar between 7pm and midnight as most heart attacks occur thru these time any one hear?

ROUND YELLOW A22 PILL ## Request information about chemical content of LISINOPRIL 20MG TAB MYLAN ## Lisinopril is the active ingredient, as to the inactives, you would need to ask your pharmacist if they can provide you with that information, or contact the manufacturer. As to the first post, a round yellow tablet with A 22 on it IS NOT LISINOPRIL.

Should I be using this drug while I am trying to get pregnant? ## My blood presure went soaring after I gave birth to my 4th child.The Dr. suggested I stopped breastfeeding to start taking Norvasc .So I would probably talk with your doctor because if they recommened me to stop breastfeeding then it probably isnt good for pregnancy.

not sure if this is from my old blood pressure medicine ## This is Lisinopril 10mgs, it is used to lower high blood pressure. ## I take lisinopril as well. Usually I got the white oval ones but one month got the pink ones. It was explained to me that two companies make the generic pill, both identical in purpose and composition, but with different appearances as required by law. ## Well it isn't the appearance that has to differ by law, it is just the markings on the tablet. It doesn't matter what they look like, they could make them all the same size and color if they wish, but the markings on it have to be different under FDA regulations so they can identify who manufactures it and what the dosage is, in case of emergency. Not sure who told you that the appearance has to be di...

Preciso saber se analopril e enalapril são o mesmo principio ativo, ou seja, se um é tradução do outro em linguas diferentes? ## Bem, é justamente isso que quero saber! um médico local afirmou essa medicação existe! que é da mesma classe do enalapril, mas são bases diferentes! nos sites de busca obtive informação que apenas é uma escrita diferente mas é o mesmo enalapril! e estou procurando formas de sanar essa dúvida.

Does anyone know what would happen if I took one the the referenced pills if it's expired for a year? ## The worst that will happen with this type of pill is it might be slightly less effective, very few pills actually get dangerous with age and this is not one of them, All of them do, however, lose potency over time, so it might not be as strong as it was when you first filled your prescription. I am concerned here about the fact that you are trying to self-diagnose, though. If you are experiencing edema/swelling, there could be several reasons for it, and taking a pill that was prescribed to treat an old condition might not be appropriate for this one if your condition has changed. You should really consult your doctor to rule out serious problems.

hypertension ## Olmesartan Info Click Here ## using omesar for high bloodpressure and lexpro for depression,l have put on about 42 lbs in two years . I am aged 35 please could give me some helpful information on this tablets. ## Well, I am not a doctor, nor a medical professional, so I cannot provide you with a definitive answer, it would be remiss of anyone to try to do so only reading one post online. However, the culprit is more than likely the Lexapro, weight gain is a side effect of many antidepressants. You could talk to your doctor about it, and if they agree that it could be causing the problem, you could try switching to something else that does not cause such severe weight gain, otherwise your only other choice is to get more exercise and watch your diet and caloric/fat intake...

93 on one side and 1122 on the other - it's an orange pill ## This is Lisinopril 5mgs, a generic for Prinivil, this is used to help lower blood pressure, but it can also lower cholesterol. ## Orange Pill 93/1122 Pain killers? ## No, NOT ANY TYPE OF PAIN KILLER! It is exactly what I posted above for the other person who asked, nothing more than Lisinopril, primarily used to lower blood pressure. You can check the image in my original answer post to confirm. ## No Verwon, I have the same mystery pill and it isn't the one in the picture you linked. As it says above: 93 on one side and 1122 on the other (not on the same side). It's orange and oval/oblong shaped. The label on the bottle says Edotrol or Edotorol or something like that, it's hard to read. ## Okay, found the one...
