I need to know the inactive ingredients for furosemide 40g, made by excellium pharmecuticals. Thank you. ## Unfortunately, I can't find a listing for them from Excelliium. Have you tried asking your pharmacist? They should have it in their databases, so they can check for any possible allergies for customers. I tried to find their contact information for you, but their website is currently unavailable due to maintenance.

What type of pain reliever can I take for the headaches I recieve while taking lisinop/hctz? ## I need to know what type of pain reliever/fever reducer I can take with lisinop/hctz. thank you. ## Have you consulted your doctor? The answer can depend on the specific pain reliever, of which there are many on the market and the severity of the condition you are being treated for. For instance, if someone has had congestive heart failure, or their blood pressure is still somewhat out of control, then they have to avoid using any type of NSAIDs and may be restricted to just Acetaminophen/Tylenol.

if taking hydrochlorot what does getting i the sun do to you ## Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, so it works by removing excess fluid from the body, which carries sodium with it. On top of making you heat and sun sensitive, which could lead to quicker skin burning and heat stroke, it can also cause dehydration, which the sun and high levels of hit can worsen. Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband picked up my refill today. When I opened it to fix my meds for the week I discovered it is a new color. My pharmacy is closed. It is usually a sm all white pill. This prescription is a small reddish orange pill. Do I have the correct medication? ## There is no way I can tell you that, for certain, without knowing the imprint that is on the tablet in question. Can you post back with this information? If you do, I will gladly look it up for you. It is likely, however, that your pharmacy just provided you with a generic medication made by a different manufacturer. ## Mine are a small reddish/orange round pill

can lower back pain also be a side effect? I started taking this pills again and the next day my lower back started to hurt. I didn't put two and two together, but when I took the pill again the following day, I could barely stand. It comes and goes. ## Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that is used to reduce the amount of fluid in the body. And yes, it may cause a backache, especially if it is causing you to become dehydrated. Are you being careful with your fluid intake? Your body does need 64oz of liquid each day, so if you aren't drinking enough and take this, it might be causing the problem. Have you consulted your doctor?

supposedly lasix replacement ## This tablet contains 50mgs of Furosemide, the active ingredient in Lasix, which is a diuretic used to reduce the amount of fluid in the body. Was this given as a prescription for a human, or an animal? This tablet is actually listed under veterinary medications and is usually prescribed for dogs, though there are quite a few medications that cross over, from humans to animals.

My farther is 89 and already diagnosed with heart failure. Congestive Heart Failure. From my poor knowledge this might be Diastolic heart failure as he has fluid accumulation in the feet, ankles and legs. This was initially controlled by lasix,, Aldactone and angizaar/Lorsatum then the fluid was lost but legs remain with stiff muscles. Then later prednisolone was introduced and now he is too weak to walk. Is this combination of drug correct? How can we help him to relieve the problem of stiff muscles?

i take ritalin 40 mg and zzanaxx and i thought i was taking 2 1mg zzanaxx's but i accidently took 2 40 mg ic furosemide which are my husbands will i be ok tonight ? ## I'm not a doctor, but I can assume that you may feel the effects (and possibly side effects) of the furosemide until it wears off, but you 'should' be fine since you don't accidentally do this on a regular basis. It's been two days since you posted this, so I'm guessing that you're over any symptoms that the drug may have caused you. 80mg of furosemide is a high dose, but if you made it threw the day ok then I personally wouldn't stay worried. If for some reason you still notice any effects from it, I would highly recommend that you go to your doctor and let him know what happened. He o...

Can I eat 1/2 of a grapefruit daily while taking lisinop/hctz? I have done it once with no side effects. Thank you ## There are no problems listed between taking this medication and Grapefruit or its byproducts, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Such an interaction wouldn't necessarily cause something you'd notice as side effects, what it usually does is have a detrimental effect on the efficacy of the medication, so some drugs may not work as well, or some may even be intensified.
