I have a white tab with M on one side and H 1 on the other. Is this Lisinopril? ## The 10-12.5 Tab is white mine or lite blue. ## Okay, to clear up something in regard to this post... The white, round tablet with an M on one side and H 1 on the other side, separated by a score line, only contains 25mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, there is no Lisinopril in this particular tablet. You can learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. As to the last post, without knowing the markings, I cannot verify what the tablet contains. Did you ever find out?

to lower potassium level ## what is hetz ## I think the medication in question was actually what's referred to as HCTZ, or Hydrochlorothiazide. This medication is a diuretic that helps remove excess fluid and sodium from the body, it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and edema. However, by this very same mechanism, it can also reduce potassium levels, because the removal of fluid can affect all electrolytes in the body. Does this sound like the right medication? There are more Hydrochlorothiazide details available here for anyone in need of more information.

I was just told to start taking 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide for my BP. I have been taking domperidone to help increase my milk production so that I can feed my daughter breast milk. I forgot to ask my dr if they were safe to take together as my dr did not prescribe both. ## I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, but you should double check this information to be safe. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. However, since you are breastfeeding, you should be made aware that the Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, which removes excess fluid from the body, so you need to make sure you take in enough fluid to balance it out for your breast mild production. And you should also inform all doctors of everything that you are taking. Are there any other quest...

Does Losartan hctz tab 100-25 mg equal Diovan HCT 320-12.5 tab. I am concerned about the difference in milligrams. I recently started the Losartan. ## It's usually about 100mgs of the Losartan to equal each 160mg of the Valsartan in the Diovan, but your HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) has been raised from 12.5 to 25, so that dose has been doubled. Learn more Hyzaar details here. Did your doctor make this change? It's really a matter of trying it and seeing how it works for you. If it doesn't work, then you may require a dosage adjustment.

My husband is prescribed lasix as well as several other meds for early stages of CHF. He took his drug test last week and they sent it to a lab because it was "unconclusive". Today they fired him because the urine was diluted. Can they do that if he has scripts for them?

I took around 15 to 30mg of ms contin then drank half gallon of water and half gallon tea and took 2 lasix and alka seltzer, I had a drug test 2 1/2 days later think I could have passed the drug test? I haven't taken any prior to that. ## Did you pass the test? I can see it has been awhile since this was posted. For future reference for anyone that reads this, MS Contin contains the narcotic Morphine in a time released formulation and like most other narcotics, it is generally detectable for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last use. There is, however, no precise time frame that can be given, because individuating factors will always come into play, such as a person's metabolism, overall health, activity levels and etc. ## i took one ms contin and showed positive 9 days later. t...

I have been told by my doctor to increase my dosage of Hydrochlorothiazide 37.5 25 capsule to twice a day. I am reluctant to do this since I have recently been diagnosed with Glaucoma. ## Have you asked about the possibility of taking a different medication? Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. Are you taking it for high blood pressure or a cardiac condition? Short of suffering congestive heart failure or edema, where you need a diuretic of some type, there are other options available to treat both hypertension and other cardiac conditions. The Hydrochlorothiazide is often the first choice that doctors will use to try to lower high blood pressure, but it isn't absolutely essential. I tend to dehydrate very easily, so we ran into serious problems when they tried to leave me o...
