Lisinopril Hctz New Tablet ?

Updated

I have a round yellow tablet with LL on one side and B02 on the other. Different than previously obtained Lisinopril 20/HCTZ 12.5. Is this simply a different brand or manufacturer?

Interesting stuff indeed. What about diarrhea? This is a clearly listed side effect of Lisinopril, and in our case, it may be exacerbated by the patient's surreptitious coffee intake.

We can see the physicians' point of view when prescribing these medications for patients with potential BP issues, but having seen side effects in one of our elders, we take pause.
Can it be said that physicians have neither time nor wherewithal to perform complete workups to determine whether a given med will fit the body chemistry of any given patient?
Moreover, when said patient sleeps in a chair for a sizable portion of most days, how high could their blood pressure be? Could the dosage be reduced commensurate with dramatically lowered activity levels? What about when the patient has long periods of low appetite and eats very little - yet takes the same dosages? Who is monitoring the patient's meds within the context of these factors on more than an annual or bi-annual basis? Some things might not show up on bloodwork or spill over onto charts.

The elder loved one in question was on a veritable hodgepodge of these things: Atenolol, Lipitor (!), Lisinopril, and Levoxyl - all of which are not entirely without risk, and certainly MUST have nutrient-depleting effects on the body that won't be blared from television sets during flashy drug ads. Despite your loved one not getting any better - and dragging their ass around half the time, physicians may, by and large, be wholly unwilling to change anything, particularly for elderly patients. And can you blame them? Face it, folks, it's not called CYA medicine for no reason! However, the patient's physician, much to his credit, did eventually notice overactive thyroid, and authorized cutting the Lisinopril.

It is also worth noting that, should a patient wish to go entirely natural, say, under the care of a naturopathic or homeopathic physician, it could be readily asserted that they would run butt-up against a severe dearth of support and reliable information in these modalities. This, my friends, is also no accident.
But I digress.

Luckily for us, we have an RN with 30+ years in the field and considerable gerontological experience, so we started cutting more.
Since the diarrhea has continued, we would like to reduce the Lisinopril further and see if the condition improves.

In closing, though I rambled considerably, we'll state unequivocally that we saw marked improvement upon discontinuing the statin, our patient was able to get out of the chair without as much trouble as before, and stopped complaining about muscle pain in the legs.

Proven fact: Statins are toxic to muscles. Check it out:
