Chest Pain (Angina) Forums (Page 17)

there are two pills that I am needing some information on, one is a small oval white pill that is scored on one side with the numbers 37and 97 on the scored side and the other side of the pill has a v on it. The second pill is a small round pink pill scored on one side only with the number 93 on the top part above the score and on the bottom it has the number 733 on it the other side of the pill is completly smooth with no markings on it. ## The tablet with the 3797 V contains 30mgs of Isosorbide Mononitrate, which is most commonly used to treat Angina. The tablet marked 93 733 contains 50mgs of Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac conditions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What is in a white non-scored ...

Im taking diltiazem (inwood)240 mg sa cap and im having something like a rash on my face and my eyes have been bothering me.My doc says it shouldnt be from the medicine i think not anyone have the same results or have any answers. Thanks ## Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker that is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. As to the problems you are experiencing, blurry vision and dizziness can be common side effects to this class of medications. However, the rash could be a sign that you are having a mild allergic reaction to it. You should really contact your doctor, again to discuss the matter, because this is probably not the right medication for you and there are other options available that you can try.

DO SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE COUGHING? ## Hi John, Yes, coughing is listed as a normal side effect of Diltiazem. Referenced from: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a684027.html#side-effects Did you have any other questions or concerns about this drug? Please post back if you do. ## Thanks David. I Figured coughing was a side affect. I asked my doctor about it because I had the same problem with Micardis. He didn't want to believe that was the cause. Hopefully, I can get a different perscription.

Are There Any Side Effects To Quiting Isosorbide Mn Er 60mg After Taking For 15 Days ## Yes, if you've been on it for several weeks, these types of medications usually need to be tapered slowly, because if you suddenly stop taking them you may experience rebound effects, which could mean worsening angina, chest pain, elevated blood pressure and heart rate.

how to safely wean off the Diltiazem extended release. nurse practitioner said skip a day for a week and then two days for another week and, finally, stop. is this safe? ## If that's what she instructed you to do, it would be best to follow them, since she is your medical practitioner. Learn more Diltiazem details here. Another way to stop theses types of medications is to gradually lower the dosage for awhile, but that isn't always possible.

CABG was performed on me for 100% block in RCA and 89% block in LAD in year 1989. I was generally okay till about six months ago. I now get chest pain while walking fast or when there is heated discussion or any emotional distress. I have been prescribed Nikoran 5 twice daily, Flavedon MR twice daily, Clopitab A 150 once a day and Monotrate 10 twice a day. I am feeling better. But my facial skin has become dark and I get pain in the Left leg. Is ir due to sude effects of these medicines? If yes what can be done?

if you are taking isosorb mono and are having trouble taking a deep breath, can you take a nitroglicern pill to alleviate this breathing problem??? ## There aren't any interactions listed between these two medications. However, Nitroglycerin isn't a pain reliever, nor is used to help improve breathing, but rather to treat angina and heart failure. Thus, it will only help if that's what's causing your breathing issue and pain. Learn more Isosorbide Mononitrate details here. Learn more Nitrogylcerin details here. If it is due to your heart and your current dose of Isosorbide isn't helping, then you do need to consult your doctor. If it's something like congestive heart failure, then other treatment may be necessary. Is there anything else I can help with?

after angioplasty i am taking ecospirin 150, prasugrel 10, atorva 80, nikoran 5, now am suffring strong headache. ## I have been prescribed tablet nicopress 5 mg twice a day. I am suffereing from severe headache. I have been diagnosed with block in LAD and advised to undergo Angioplasty. ## The bad headaches are a very common side effect of Nicorandil, which is the active ingredient in these medications.

In this case, due to the complicated medical conditions and other medications involved, the best suggestion I can make to both of you is to contact your respective doctors and ask what's safe for you to use to relieve the headache. In most cases, heart patients can use Paracetamol, but I am not a doctor, so I am not sure what's safe for you. L...

Is Nifedipine ER 60mg TER, a light pinkish tablet with KU261 on one side, and a small hole in the middle of the other side, the same manufacturer as Nifedipine ER 60 mg, a darker pink tablet with M 060 on one side, and a small hole in the middle of the other side? ## Hi Ann, To answer your question, both of the pills in question are one in the same drug. The only difference I noticed is that they are manufactured by different companies ("KU 261" is manufactured by Kremers Urban & "M 060" is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.) Because of this, there may be a slight variation of inactive ingredients; but other than that you can be assured that they are the same drug and same dosage. NOTE: Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in ...

i currently take diltiazem hydrochloride extended release caps 360 mg at bedtime....should it be taken in the morning instead? ## What have your blood pressure readings been during the day? This information is needed in order to answer your question. Learn more Diltiazem details here. In many cases, doctors do want someone to take such medications in the morning, so it helps to control their blood pressure or cardiac conditions during the time of day that they will be most active and therefore experience the most fluctuations. However, since it can cause drowsiness and dizziness as aide effects, some people do find them necessary to take at night, when they are going to bed. So, it really depends on your blood pressure or cardiac condition and your doctor's instructions.
