Question 1

i am on amoldipine for 11 days but still got some headache & minor giddiness how long does this medicine actually work and lower my high bp?

Accepted Answer

Persistent effect.: To determine the effectiveness of amlodipine, purchase an arm-cuff automatic BP machine and check your blood pressure each am, sitting and standing.  Ones goal is to keep BP at or below 125/80.

Question 2

i am on 10mg of ramipril & 5mg of amolodipine besylate. i was on 25mg of chlorthalidone, but didn't like the way it made me feel. i tend to still average around 141/84 with a pulse around 75-80. is there a better medication?

Accepted Answer

Individual tailoring: Many combinations available. You need to go through an iterative process of trial and error with various medications. For you, an ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) might be better than the Ramipril, and it may be that doses can be changed or a beta blocker added. Best thing to do is to continue working with your health care prof and also to take home BP measurements so there is good data on which

Question 3

i take losartran, clonodine, amolodipine, hydralozine, coreg (carvedilol) for high bp. can i still take horny goat weed supplement?

Accepted Answer

Horny goat weed: Erectile-dysfunction.Emedtv.Com/horny-goat-weed/horny...
Theoretically, combining horny goat weed with a high blood pressure medicine might increase the risk of dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension). It is probably best to check with your healthcare provider before using such a combination.The problem is that only Lisinopril has been studied and found not to interact.Not enough is known yet about the others so the warning about high blood pressure medications should be followed until the research determines it to be safe. Best wishes.

Question 4

i take clonodine, hydralozine, imdur, diovan, (valsartan) coreg & amolodipine for hbp & levothyroxide for thyroid. how can i keep longer erection & better sex?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doc: If you have weak erections inadequate for sex or short duration that does not allow for mutual pleasure, then see what med changes can be made. I assume that you have some major pathology that has put you on these meds at such a young age, so there may not be much wiggle room. Your meds may rule out viagra, (sildenafil) so you might need to resort to vacuum devices.

Question 5

i have high blood pressure & pvc the medication tried but discontinued due to side effects amolodipine caused anxiety, metoprolol succ caused digestive , propranolol headaches, currently on losartan asking for 2nd opinion about this medication?

Accepted Answer

: Losartan is reasonable next one.  Every high blood pressure is different and their own experiment to find best combination of Diet &amp; meds. If you were not recommended to try the DASH Diet eating plan do it now after talking with your Dr. This lowers BP as well a/better than most single BP meds. Take BP at home &amp; ask for tests to find out why BP so difficult. Ask about aldosterone/renin ratio test.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Combo: Both drugs are relatives. And work similarly. They are not exactly the same but do the same things.

Question 8

is amlodipine besylate similar to benicar (olmesartan)?

Accepted Answer

Benicar (olmesartan): benicar is olmesartan and is an angiotensin receptor blocker. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. They are not similar

Question 9

which is safer: nifedipine or norvasc (amlodipine)?

Accepted Answer

Both: Both are safe when appropriately used. The main difference between the two is lipid solubility, and thus, time to onset. Nifedipine is water soluble and has reasonably quick onset, but also the levels will waver through the day. Amlodipine (or norvasc) is lipid soluble, takes about a week to ramp up in effect, and has a nice steady state effect.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Nifedipine: This is a calcium channel blocker that has a variety of uses, including to treat / prevent headache and control high blood pressure by relaxing vessels.
