Diuretic Forums (Page 9)

I've been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis for about 2 years. I have to live with a series of excruciating symptoms. I've tried many medications and home remedies to relieve the painful condition. Recently, I 'm on a herbal medication called diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill. My pain during urinating has been alleviated a little. Hope it can greatly relieve my symptoms.

Can taking triamterene twice a day to prevent bloating cause severely painful cramping in the hands and feet? ## Hello, Eva! How are you doing? Has anything changed? In many cases, cramping in those body areas is a sign of dehydration, according to the NIH. Since this medication removes fluid from the body, it could be that you're not taking in enough to keep your fluid balance. How much liquid do you take in each day? Are you on any other medications? What dosage do you take of the Triamterene?

I mistakenly took a double dose of Triamterene. I need to know if I need to call my doctor. ## That is not an overdose amount, in theory, though it can always vary from person to person, depending on our tolerance and sensitivity to medications. Did you experience any adverse effects? The FDA warns that taking more than prescribed may cause nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dehydration, and hypotension. For future reference, when in doubt, it is always better to call your doctor, poison control, or your nearest poison control to be safe. ## Ha ha ha! Leave it to me!! That last part should have read emergency services, not a repeat of poison control!!! Very sorry!!! Can you please post back and let me know how you are doing? I'm worried!

I take 30 mg methadone daily in 3 doses of 10 mg ea. for chronic pain. I am now also on triamterine hctz 37.5-25 mg a day. Can I still take 2 Advil with one dose if methadone a day for break thru pain? Also, I take 1 potassium supplement (99mg) daily. When I forget, I eat 1 or 2 bananas. Is any of this wrong when taking triamterine as stated above? ## Hello, Maria! How are you? The combination of Triamterene and potassium should only be taken together, if your doctor feels it is necessary. Both can increase potassium levels, and too much can be just as dangerous as not having enough in your body, according to the NIH. The Advil can also raise it, when taking with the Triamterene. The FDA warns that the Advil should not be taken with the Triamterene, because they can increased the toxici...

Hi, I'm from the UK. My 78yr old mum has been prescribed 120mg furosemide daily for heart failure, but the side effects are dreadful and two days ago she decided to stop taking them. She has been on them for 9 months and I don't think it is wise for her to stop them suddenly. Is she putting herself at risk by doing this? Thank you ## Hello, Cate! How is your mum doing? Yes, she could certainly be putting herself at risk. Congestive heart failure is caused by high blood pressure, which causes the body to retain too much fluid. The intent of this medication is to help remove that excess fluid, to reduce the strain on her heart, so it can function better and more easily, thus, if she stops taking it suddenly, she could experience elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate and, go...

Hi, I am taking pearinda 4mg which is a generic for prexum together with indapamide 2.5mg is this safe ## Hello, Versh! How are you? Yes, as long as they have been prescribed for you. These medications are often prescribed together, to help lower someone's blood pressure as fast and safely as possible, or to treat dangerous cardiac conditions. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, hypotension and dehydration. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a pill (several) that is white and round in shape. It has HP with a line and 45 underneath. I have no idea what it is. ## Hello, Kate! How are you? I think the imprint might be HP 46, can you please double check? If so, the tablet is manufactured by Heritage Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 50mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that used to treat conditions such as edema, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. ## I did just check and I believe you are right. It does look like a 6. Thank you.

Diabetic- stage 4 kidney failure on 40 mg Lasix daily 80 meq Potassium Chloride ER daily. Seems like a lot of Potassium. Doctor won't talk to me about it just tells me to take it. ## The medication Lasix is used to help remove excess fluid from the body, but while doing so, it also tends to remove potassium, which is why such supplements are often prescribed along with it. 80meq is not really that high of a dose. It is very important to maintain a good potassium level as being either too high or too low can both cause dangerous health problems. The FDA warns that it is very rough on the stomach and should be taken with food. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'll admit it I've been taking a half of sub a day (only a half, no more) for 2 years and now with these new peach ones I'm up to almost a whole one a day. It just doesn't keep me straight with no withdrawal symptoms. I'm not saying what I'm doing is right with the way I'm taking it, but know it or not, when these were first made they were supposed to be in a suppository form. Anyway just saying I know me and I know my body and these new ones are not holding me over like all the other ones did. why idk, I'm not the man in the lab. ## Tenncare is just starting everybody that gets suboxin tablets to try the new ones.. Does anybody know if their the same or have different effects? ## Whenever you switch to a new tablet/manufacturer, if there's not a chan...

Found a small round pill, has that V on one side of it, other side is 54 over 583. Seeing mixed answers on these numbers. ## Hello, Jarr! How are you? I can't find anything in the databases that has a V on one side, with these numbers on the other. Roxane Laboratories does like a round, white tablet with just the 54 over 583 on it. They show it as containing 40mgs of Furosemide, which is a diuretic that's used to treat high blood pressure, edema and congestive heart failure. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration. Is anyone else familiar with one that also has a V on it? ## Sorry, that was a typo, it should have been they list it, not like. LOL
