white 1_2 oblong ## Sorry, you have not provided enough information. This drug is available in both name brand and generic versions. There are many generic manufacturers and each one of them will make a pill that looks different. There are no rules saying that pills with the same ingredient have to look the same! The size, color, shape and imprint will all vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only relevant regulations from the FDA state that they must have unique imprints for identification purposes, but these will even differ by manufacturer and strength of the med. In order to identify your pill for you and tell you what it is, you need to provide the complete imprint from the pill, all letters, numbers and/or symbols that may be on it, as well as the color and shape. Then I ca...

small round white pill that says mylar at the top and 157 at the bottom ## That would by Mylan and there is no 157, is it possibly a 457? ## sorry it is a small white pill that says mylan 152 ## Ah! That makes much more sense now. Don't you hate how hard it is to read some of these? Pill Image This is Clonidine 0.1mgs, this is a generic for Duraclon. This is a pain reliever, and it is also used to relieve high blood pressure. Clonidine ## would this be for children?because this is my boyfriends sons medicine. ## Well, this is a very low dose, it can be used in children. As long as it is being prescribed by a doctor and they are monitoring the child with regular appointments, I wouldn't see anything to worry about. A lot of drugs like this have off-label uses that the doctor may ...

I was wondering if Lisinopril is a generic medication for Diovan? ## No, Lisinopril is NOT a generic for diovan; rather it is a generic blood pressure medication for Prinivil. I take 40mg per day myself. ## Actually its an alternative not its generic form. ## priscilla..isnt that what I said..tat it was NOT a generic for Diovan rather it was generic for PRINIVIL, which obviously would be an alternative. ## The other posters are correct, Diovan's active ingredient is Valsartan. Another name brand for Lisinopril would be Zestril.

02/08/2006 Is there such a thing as becoming resistant to Toprol XL 50 mg? I've been on this drug for several years. It seems like it's not as good as it used to be for me. I have no med. insurance and no income. I get the meds free from the manufacturer. But lately I don't feel so good in the middle of my chest and the palpitations are getting worse and more frequent. It feels like there is something too heavy (in my chest) for my body to hold in place. Also- could the manf. have changed the ingredients enough to cause my body to react differently? Is there some way to have one of the pills tested to verify the ingredients are correct and in the right amounts? This is starting to become debilitating for me and it scares me! Kathy ## Does anyone know anything about this?

1 tablet po daily ## Do you mean the term Diuretic? On an average day only one or two quarts of urine is produced. Often called water pills, diuretics work in the kidneys to increase the elimination of water and electrolytes, thereby causing more urine to form. Because the amount of fluid in the body is lowered, blood pressure goes down, too. Drugs in this Class Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide (Moduretic) Bumetanide (Bumex) Chlorothiazide (Diurigen, Diuril) Chlorthalidone (Hygroton, Thalitone) Furosemide (Lasix) Furosemide Injection (Lasix Injection) Furosemide Oral Solution (Lasix Oral Solution) Hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, Ezide, HydroDIURIL, Microzide, Oretic) Indapamide (Lozol) Metolazone (Mykrox, Zaroxolyn) Spironolactone and Hydrochlorothiazide (Aldactazide) Torsemide Oral (Dem...

Since I began taking 2 x 150 mg pills of Avapro a day I have been sleeping more. Anyone else with this? ## Occasionally I suddenly get INTENSELY sleepy (not physically tired). Am also taking Lopressor and Zocor. ## What medical condition does Avapro treat? My husband's doctor prescribed this without explaining what it does. ## Physicians should tell their patients what they are perscribing their drugs for. I get it for high blood pressure. ## Yes, I told my doctor after this, my first month on Avapro that I felt tired or maybe SLeepy alot is a better description, we'll see if this is only for a limited adjustment period.

side 1: PP 168 side 2: 25 25 50 50 Break Scored for each indicator Pill is about 1/8 inch thick and white was in bottle with 100 mg Labetalol ## I found something very close to your description. Only difference is that instead of PP it is more like MP (but the M and P seem to be combined). First, check a picture out here. If you think it's a match then that is 150 mg Trazodone. Hope this helps!

metoprolol ## Good question. Do you happen to know what the strength of the pill is, as well as the manufacturer? There are several possible appearances for this pill. For example: Metoprolol manufactured by AstraZeneca comes in 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg dosages... All of those are White. But Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures METOPROLOL TARTRATE in 50 mg (which is Pinkish Red with M over 32 on it), and 100 mg (which is a lighter Blue with M over 47 on it). Not to mention there are many other possibilities. Hope this helps. James

They said it was the most amazing thing because you can loose a lot of weight quickly, even takes down your cholestrol. helps you sleep and eat properly.

I am getting dizzyness and upset stomach and wondered if I am getting enough blood going to my head, I have three stents for blocked arteries to the heart, which is the reason for being on Norvasc ## Please see the full listing for <a href= Thank You
