Spiractin

I have a terrible problem of retaining fluid during the day where to the point I can gain 5 kg as I only urinate once or twice after consuming at least 2 1/2 litre of water per day. My doctor prescribed me spiractin and frusemide at different times, he didnt tell me to take them concurrently, so I was wondering if it I could take these both during the day for the duiretic needs to stop from gaining so much fluid weight during the day without causing any side effects. My potassium levels are fine but my kidneys have slowed a bit owing to age. As I have lost a total weight of 80kg over the past two years and have worked hard to maintain it, I am a bit reticent to stop taking these tablets as I do not want to gain any of the weight I have lost. I attended a vascular surgeon to see if an op...

Dear Sir I have been taking the above medication: Concor and Lamictin over a long period and Spiractin for about one year. I have a constant cough, non-productive at most times, joint pains, sleepiness, vision distortion sometimes, loss of balance and excessive weight gain. I have minor problems with itchiness of my skin and eyes. No treatment has been successful for the constant cough which is interfering with my lifestyle. I would sincerely appreciate your help as I have visited my Doctor several times and now will need a bronchoscopy which I want to avoid if possible. Thank you very much ## Concor contains the active ingredient Bisoprolol, which is a beta blocker and it is most likely the culprit for the symptoms you're experiencing. They are well known to cause such side effects...

As he is impotent the doctor gave him Viagra. He used it once but start feeling funny, his face was red, he got very warm and felt sick but other wise nothing happend. What do you suggest was the dosage to strong, and can he use something with the medication that he is taking aspessialy with the warfarin. ## Viagra contains the active ingredient Sildenafil and it actually works by helping to regulate blood flow, so the side effects he experienced can be normal and have been known to occur in some people that take it.

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 h...

under which category does Fortzaa fall eg. ace inhibitor etc. ## Fortzaar contains the active ingredients Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, so it is a combination medication used to treat hypertension. The Losartan is an ARB and the Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic. Learn more Losartan details here. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. While taking this, please be careful to make sure you drink adequate fluids, because the diuretic can easily cause dehydration, if you don't. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I have been prescribed various diff meds for treatment of hypertension. I am concerned of the mixtures? Fortzaar , Atenelol, Carloc, Spiracten, Lipitor, Eco-trin another Dr has prescribed Zanidip in place of Spiractin and Carloc.
