I am on Clonidine for anxiety and other reasons. I take 0.1mg to 0.2mg at a time. Today I was watching my grandkids when I took 0.2mg around 3:30 - 4:00. I had such a hectic day, got home at 7 and took it again forgetting I already took it. Will I be ok? I'm a little scared... ## How are you doing? Did you experience any adverse effects? In most cases, unless someone is allergic to a medication, accidentally taking a double dose, just once, will usually only cause worsening of some of the side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, sedation, lowered heart rate, and lowered blood pressure. But in some cases, this could put some people in danger, so in such situations, it is always best to seek emergency medical advice, via an ER doctor, or urgent care c...

I've been taking the Reaptan brand of Perindopril/Amlodipine (5mg-5mg) & now I am experiencing side effects as such as dizziness, mild headache, stomach pain, hypotension and finger cramps. I fear it may cause more risks to my system. Should I stop taking this medication? ## How long have you been taking it? How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? If you have high blood pressure, or a cardiac condition, it is far more risky for you to let such a condition remain uncontrolled, since they have the potential to be fatal. They could result in a heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure. The issues you've reported are listed by the NIH as being normal side effects of this medication, you may also experience increased urination. Most side effects taper off, and ...

My doctor is transferring me off of Norvasc (which has worked great to keep my blood pressure under control) to Plendil because of a change in medications covered by my HMO.

I had been tanking Plendil for years with great success. The Military Pharmacy switch to Norvasc. When I asked my Doctor, he said they were interchangable. ## You can safely switch from one to the other, as long as your doctor approves, and the dosage has been taken under careful consideration.

I wanted to know more about the potential side effects of using Telvas 40mg continuously for the last 10 years? ## The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

Will it hurt to drink lemon water with them or when would be the best time to drink it? ## No, it will not do any harm, if you take them with lemon water.

I'm having surgery and need to know if any of my meds are blood thinners: Guanfacine, Isosorbide Mononitrate ER, Metoprolol, Metformin, Losartan/HCTZ, L-Thyroxine, Atorvastatin Calcium, Meloxicam. ## No, but many surgeons will tell you not to take the Meloxicam, before surgery, since it can cause an increased risk of bleeding as a side effect, according to FDA reports. Thus, in most cases you have to stop taking it several days before surgery. It is best to make sure they know everything you are taking, including the dosages, so they can advise you on what you should, or shouldn't take. Is there anything else I can help with?

Carvedilol is prescribed by US doctors, but I would like to know if there's an Indian medicine equal to this US version? ## From what I could gather, there's an Indian brand of Carvedilol that goes by the name "Caditone". This medication is reportedly manufactured by a company called Kopran ltd. based out of Mumbai, India. There is also a brand called Carviflo made by Ajanta, out of India. If I come across any other brand or generic versions I'll be sure to post back. Until then, I hope these two options will suffice. Best of luck to you!

My blood pressure is 100/65. Should I continue with the medication?

Are you on any other medications? ## My high blood pressure medication, Bioprexum Plus (Perindopril + Indapamide) is causing serious discomfort. What alternatives are there? I'm diabetic.

Hello There, Would appreciate if anyone could please answer my question whether my Mom who is 64 years of age now needs to take Concor 1.25 mg once a day at all please. Truth of the matter is that her heart rate is way too low as a result - it`s only about 40 per /minute and blood pressure is about 100-120/50-60. Cardiologist doesn't seem to believe that heart rate is that low and keeps prescribing it. She was prescribed 2.5 mg per day and had a heart rate of 30 per / minute so had to decrease it to 1.25 mg and now it`s about 40-50. I wonder if she should be taking that particular medication at ALL giving the fact of such a low heart rate. She doesn't feel well which is quite obvious isn't it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance. Best Regards...
