My Farther has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure with terrible blue thick swollen legs, water sometimes leaks through the skin. The cardiologist gave him Sandoz Theophylline 200mg, Plenish K, Cortaject, Angised, I found out what the rest is for {Pulmison, Purgoxin. Spiractin} but couldn't find anything on the 1st 4 pills. Could you please let me know what it's for.

Hello, Esta! How is your father doing?

Plenish K is a potassium supplement used to prevent the potassium loss that may happen, when someone is on medications to remove excess fluid from the body. It can be dangerous, if someone's potassium drops too low, so the doctor likely prescribed this as a precautionary measure. The FDA does warn that potassium supplements can be very rough on the stomach, so he should take it with food.

Angised contains glyceryl trinitrate, it's used to help heart function and prevent the chest pain that may be associated with some cardiac conditions, such as angina. Its very well known to cause bad headaches in most people that take it.

Theophylline is usually used in those with respiratory disorders, so he may have given it to him to help keep his lungs clear and enable him to breathe better.

Cortaject is listed as containing Hydrocortisone, it is a steroid used to relieve swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and acne. Please watch this one as it may worsen his fluid retention.

Is there anything else I can help with?
