I'm 68, no one so far can control my blood pressure. 244/161 the highest so far. Just left hospital for three days. At my request, doctor gave me Cloraz Dipot to ease my anxiety of taking blood pressure, and taking the new medicine. My other medicine made me sick, ended up calling 911. My problem? I can't tell I took Cloraz. Shouldn't I? It's 3.7mg. Will taking two hurt? I take: Lisinopril, 20mg. once a day Metoprolol tart, 50mg, twice daily Hydralazine 25mg, three times daily for bl. pressr. And it's still just as high at times. They don't know what to do. Sent me home. To die? You think? Any help? They say my heart is fine. Had stress test, etc. At St. Anne's hospital. Thank you.

Lisinopril and grapefruit interaction? ## Grapefruit can decrease the proper metabolism of many drugs, and therefore decrease/or almost cancel out the effect of this drug on the body (in this case with lisinopril ..blood pressure may not be properly decreased to the full effectiveness it should be at) Do not take grapefruit/juice at the same time. I would wait 2-4 hours after administration of medication to avoid an interaction, if you MUST have grapefruit. Safest is to just switch to a different fruit! Happy Mothers day! ## That is correct and it should be noted that this does not just refer to grapefruit juice, but to anything using it and the actual fruit itself, since it all contains the same substances. Do you have any other questions? ## This pill is Acetaminophen 300 mg and Codei...

can lisinopril -hctz 10-12 5mgtab be cut in half? ## Hi Shirley, Is there a score line (indent) on the pill? If there is, then it is there specifically for the purpose of cutting the pill in half. Whether or not there is a score line, I would still cut the pill in half if needed. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting a lower dose of this medication if you consistently feel the need to use half a dose. NOTE: cutting a pill in half only works if the pill is in tablet form. This just wouldn't work if it is a capsule, since the contents would fall out. Hope this helps!

I have diagnoses of high blood pressure, idiopathic hypersomnia and sleep apnea. I use the above medications and a Cpap machine. I also believe i may be perimenopausal. I have had nagging fluid retention in my hands, feet and sometimes face. I take 400 mg of provigil to stay alert during day but still feel tired most of time. I have no energy for exercise, sex, etc. Some days i am very hyped by the meds. I have also had tingling in my hands and sometimes feet usually when I have increased fluid. What do I do? Have not had any luck from my doctors who feel I need these meds. My thyroid is fine. ## I take ziac, prevacid. Is there a negative reaction with Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg?

taking Lisinopril hctz 20/25. precription says take 1 every morning. my BP is often higher again by evening (150's/90's sometimes). Is it safe to take another dose in evenings? Does chewing the pill get it in my system faster? round peach tablet with B03 front & LL on back. ## It is not a good idea to adjust the dose, without your doctor or pharmacists instructions. Especially since this also contains the Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic, too much of it could result in dehydration and other serious conditions, such as Hyponatremia. Chewing will not speed the way it works. Have you spoken to your doctor, yet, about the problem? ## I am taking both Lisinopril 20 and Lisinopril 2025. They say take one daily.

I use concor 5mg & Hexal lisinopril 10mg for hipertention but my hart rate is high 130+ ## What have your blood pressure readings been? Have they done any tests of your cardiac function? While most doctors will tell you that the lower your blood pressure the better, this is a little misleading, because there are points where it can be too low. If this occurs, it will cause your heart rate to accelerate, because your heart has to work harder to compensate for the decreased blood flow. Concor contains the active ingredient Bisoprolol, which is a beta blocker, it is used to treat hypertension and heart conditions. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that is used to treat similar conditions.

i was given this drug as an alternative for my high blood pressure medication lisiopril seems to be making me feel lousy ## The new medication you've been given combines the ACE inhibitor Lisinopril, with the diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide, which is used to help reduce the amount of water in the body. The addition of the diuretic can cause most side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness and stomach pain. In addition, it creates a very real risk of dehydration, if you aren't taking in enough fluids. Some of the symptoms of dehydration may include: dizziness, leg/muscle cramps, severe malaise/fatigue, increased thirst and hypotension. When taking this medication, you should make sure to take in, at least, 2 liters of liquids, each day. That way you make sure your body has enough fl...
