I am suffering from high blood pressure and have been taking Telmisartan 40mg. Can I take Manforce 50mg along with it? ## Can I take Manforce 50mg if I'm already taking Asomex tm 5/40 & Clonafit beta? ## It would be best not to take Manforce, unless it is medically approved for you to take, because it may cause your blood pressure to fall to low, according to NIH reports.

I had aorta surgery approx two months ago.I was taking 50mg Metoprlol 1xday. My blood pressure readings were really low 89/60. I would feel light-headed when standing. My doctor cut the dose to 25mg 1xday. Still light-headed. Now I am doing 12.501xday. light-headed gone. Now my heart rate is up??? ## Hello, Francesca! How are you? It can be normal to experience a rebound elevated heart rate, when your dosage is lowered, or you stop taking a medication in this class, according to FDA warnings. You may also experience elevated blood pressure. Why hasn't your doctor tried a different medication? There are many others you can try to see if they don't cause you such awful side effects. Many doctors love to prescribe Metoprolol as the first choice, but it doesn't work well for eve...

I accidentally took 2. 50 mg losartan this morning.I am worried,will I be ok? ## Hello, Viki! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? That's not a dangerous dose, so to speak, unless your allergic to the medication, or your blood pressure and heart rate are already very low. It could cause you to experience more severe side effects than usual, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and increased urination as reported by the U.S. FDA. ## I was taking my supplements this morning and accidentally took the 100 mg tablet of my husbands losartan I had out next to my supplements. My blood pressure is 128 over 78 right now. Should I go to the emergency room? Or what can I do to offset the drug?

I took a pill lisinopril then took a sulfanethoxazole and an ibuprofen that is white and says I8 on it. I passed out and dont rememenber is that normal if you mix them thee drugs together for that to happen? Just worried me ## The relevant question is, did you actually pass out, or did you just get drowsy, lay down and go to sleep? If it is the former, then you should refrain from mixing them in the future, until you consult your doctor. If it was the latter, then getting drowsy and falling asleep from the combo is possible, because they can all cause drowsiness, as a side effect. ## I got prescribed smz/tmp. I do take lisinoprial for high blood pressure. I took one of each pill today should I be concerned ?

I've been taking metosartan 25 mg once a day after my breakfast for three years. I use it for my blood pressure. Are there any side effects associated with taking this medicine for a long period? ## The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. It would be far more risky to let your blood pressure continue out of control, since that could lead to a heart attack, or stroke. Are you on any other medications?

Hi. My son is 17 and he was prescribed loprin 75 after a tia attack. He now has a pressure-like feeling in his head, neck and back, and his blood pressure is also low. Could it be a side effect of loprin? ## Loprin is listed as containing Aspirin, it is used in the dosage for its blood thinning effects, and heart health. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Is he on any other medications? The low blood pressure and pressure feeling aren't normal side effects of this medication.

White oblong pill with APO on one side and 096 or 960 on the other. Any idea what this is? I found them when moving and don't know where they came from.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and fainting. Is there anything else I can help with?

I notice when I was taking this meds, it gave me up and down mood swings. It made me think way too much of the small things. I was to the point that every small thing is the worse thing on earth. I notice when stopped taking it my whole world has gotten better. I am 38 yrs old and was diagnosed with high blood pressure because it was at 160/110 which was checked at the VA hospital in Long Beach. My primary doctor felt it was time for me to get off them because I went to her clinic without taking it. She felt it was time for me to get off it. I agreed because it gives me feelings I never want to experience again. ## Many medications cause mood changes, depression, and irritability, as side effects, according to NIH reports. It can sometimes be a matter of trial and error to find one that...

My muscle pain in legs, arms and shoulders has increased lately, and I realized it coincides with the increasing dosage of hydralazine. I get the same pain with statins, but this is worse. I have pinched nerves, but this seems to have come on suddenly with the meds. Could I be right? ## Yes, it can cause these symptoms as a side effect, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. How long have you been taking this dosage? Side effects are usually transient and will go away once your body gets used to the medication, but that could take about 4 to 5 weeks. If they don't improve, after that time period, you may need to try a different medication. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? ## I've been...

For 10 yrs I was using Sandoz atenolol with great results. Went to Florida and could not locate Sandoz atenolol so I filled a prescription for Mylan. Within a few days I started getting back pains and body pain. Within time, it was hard to walk and move around, and wake up depressed. Then my left arm developed pain, I could not even make a bed, etc. My thought was I was getting arthritis. Went to cardio lecture and the doctor said that the same medications made by different manufacturers can cause different side effects. I located Sandoz and 4 days later I woke up to tell my husband the pain was gone. Then looked up Mylan and saw their side effects. Started walking too much too soon which caused leg problems and I ended up in physical therapy. My husband had to push me in a walker for t...

I started taking bystolic 5 mg with metformin 500mg and my heartbeat slowed down from 58 to 51. I feel fatigue and shortness of breath when moving around. Do these two medications interact with one another? ## Those symptoms may be due to the Bystolic, the FDA does list them as possible side effects, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. How long have you been taking this combination? It may not be the right medication for you. Have you informed your doctor?
