reaction ## Isosorbide Dinitrate (also known as Dilatrate) is a nitrate used pharmacologically as a vasodilator. Severe reaction to Dilatrate can include: Severe headaches, necessitating analgesic (very rarely up to morphine) administration for relief of pain as well as severe hypotension, and, in certain cases, bradycardia. It is also said that with long term use, you may develop a tolerance to this drug, reducing its effectiveness.

I'm used to taking a fairly small pill, the most recent of which is yellow. Now I have been sent (mail order pharmacy) a much larger pale brick-red round pill with KU 262 written on it. The manufacturer's name is given as Osmotica(Kramers). Is this nifedipine? I see no reason why it needs to be so big and therefore I wonder if it is something else. My local pharmacist could not identify it !!!!!! Thanks John ## I was unable to locate KU 262, I did however locate KU 260 and 261. They both are round, red-brick colored, and they are Nifedipine.

Is concominent use of lisinopril contraindicated with nicorandil? ## I cannot post a definite answer for you whether Nicorandil and Lisinopril are contraindicated for one another because Nicorandil is not available in the USA.

It does this through two methods. Firstly, by activating potassium channels, and secondly by donating nitric oxide to activate the enzyme guanylate cyclase." [1] There are a number of types of medication that can interact with Lisinopril. Those include: Diuretics, Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, Potassium Supplements, Potassium-Sparing Diuretics, and Lithium. [2...

Swedish prescription for chest pain what is the English/American equivalent? Thanks. ## I am sorry, I cannot help you with that information. Medications from other countries are not as strictly regulated as those in the U.S. so information on them is very hard to find. If you could find out what the active chemical in it is, I might be able to help, but otherwise, since I have no way of knowing what is in this, I cannot help you.
