best way to take metoprolol 150. The Dr. said to take in morning and night. Don' remember how much to take . ## Hello, Ellen! How are you? What are the directions on the prescription label? If they aren't on there, your pharmacy should have record of them. If the doctor prescribed 150mgs twice a day, then that is how much you should take. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

When using Coveram for high blood pressure Hello yes read the side affects from coveram of other people and their problems with it - the urinating is bad as I felt like going to the loo a lot - but one thing I would like to confirm is this does it affect a person's eye. Complaints of floaters have been made whilst on this medicine - Also I am finding although it brings down the lower nbr for HBP the upper nbr is rather high - my HBP is hereditary though - Is it really safe to use plus the potassium thing? It recommends that people on this med should not take too much potassium. Does this include no orange juice or does it mean medicine with potassium? Thanks. ## Hello, Kathy! How are you?

What can i take for nasal congestion ? I get nasal congestion when i take prazosin hcl. ## Hello, John! How are you? Unfortunately, I've found that most stuff on provides minimal help, but if your doctor approves of your trying it, you may benefit from an antihistamine, such as Benadryl, or Flonase nasal spray, though they can sometimes elevate blood pressure, so it's best to only take them, if your doctor approves. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

What would be the best medicine for someone with very low bloodpressure ## Hello, Sam! How are you? There is no specific medication that is best for everyone that may have low blood pressure, it depends on what's causing it, what symptoms they are having if any, their overall health, other medications they may be taking and etc. as explained by the NIH. The biggest issue would be if the low blood pressure is causing symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness and etc., or it is due to some underlying medical condition that requires treatment. If there are no dangerous symptoms and if it is just natural for the person to be low, then no treatment may be necessary. However, if they are having problems, correcting the underlying condition that's causing it, if there is one, such as dehyd...

true side effects ## This is a brand name for Telmisartan, used to help lower blood pressure. Some of the most common side effects include: headache, dizziness, rash and diarrhea. ## I have noticed a significant increase in weight after taking Telmisartin for over 2 years. Has anybody noticed this or know about this ? ## My main side effect: Headaches. I have experienced constant headaches that come on fast and are located in various parts of the head, including backside of upper neck at base of head. Pain relievers work but must be used around the clock as I would wake up during the night with a headache on occasion. I have since stopped taking Telmisartan (in agreement with my doctor) and the headaches are gradually subsiding. I experienced the same side effect when I took Crestor (a ...

Suppose to be oxycofone 15 mg round light green pill with a curved E line down middle and 7 on the other side of line and nothing on other side ## Hi Patti, Does the letter "E" on your pill look anything like "Epic Pharma's Amlodipine Besylate" tablet imprinted with E 55? I'm just picking this pill as an example since you can easily find an image of it on Google. Their letter E is curved as you stated, so I thought this may at least help determine who the manufacturer could be. Epic Pharma also makes a round green 15mg Oxycodone. However I'm not able to locate a photograph of it to verify the placement of each marking. I think your best bet may be to take the pill over to a local pharmacy as they should be able to vouch for its legitimacy. Please post back if...

I take amlodipine in the morning for high bp and a water pill, at night I take Losartan and Lorazepham and I am on flexeril and 5mg of percocet 3x day for back pain. My BP is so high at night I can feel the heart beat in my fingertips and i lay awake for hours. I read where if I take potassium at night it will help to lower my BP. Is this true and if so, could it eliminate my BP meds at night. doc says it is stress related and rises when I am in pain. ## Hello, Shar! How are you? You should not take potassium, in addition to the Losartan, unless your doctor specifically says you should, because Losartan can also raise your potassium levels and building up too much of it in your body can be very dangerous. Have you actually checked your blood pressure at night, or are you just assuming i...
