Hello Doctor, My son 31 is having his serum creatinine at 1.50. Doctor has advised him to take Telma H. He is already taking homeopathy medicine from a well qualified doctor.

Unfortunately, without knowing more specific details on the homeopathic remedy he's taking, I can't really provide you with any information.

my age is 33 years i was suffering from high blood pressure from 3 months i used tablets named corvadil and also telma 40 but my bp was high as usual then doctor adviced me losar h after using this tablet my bp is normal but i am feeling giddy. ## It's used for high bp n any kidney disease in adults ## It can cause some dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, increased urination and hypotension. Has there been any change? Usually, side effects go away, once your body adjusts to a new medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks.

I had severe burning sensation on top of the head since mid November 2015. On 21/11/2015, my physician asked me to take Telsartan 40mg every morning as my BP was 178//100. Even after taking the tablets for one month, the burning in the head continued and on 23/12/2015, I visited a neuro physician who advised a CT scan of the head. The scan was normal but my BP was 180/114 and hence I was asked to meet the physician to bring down the BP immediately. The physician has prescribed Telma 40mg and Amlong, both to be taken twice a day. I am taking both these tablets twice a day since 23/12/2015.

I had pacemaker implant surgery 7 months ago. I am taking blood thinners. Acitrom 2 and 3 mg on alternate nights, plus clopitral tabs daily. I'm also taking metapure 50 mg twice a day, plus Telma H 80, plus Nue gaba. During the last few days I have developed a blue patch on my tummy (no pain) and also another light path on my hand below the wrist. My PT INR was above 2, 2 weeks ago. What might have caused these patches? Need guidance/advice. ## Most of the medications that you're taking can cause bruising as a side effect, not all bruises hurt and you may not even realize that you've done anything to cause the bruising, according to the NIH. It is always best, however, to have your doctor check such issues to be sure, though. Is there anything else I can help with?
