Advice only!: We can't help you in any way except to convince you to see an eye doctor, either a ophthalmologist or a qualified optometrist, right a way.

Question 6

hai doctor, i am using medicines for bp,olmesartan 20 mg and metaprlol50mg.can  i  use megapen 500mg for  for my heat boils ?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: An antibiotics like Megapen should theoretically not interfere the effects of both antihypertensives you are using since they belongs to entirely different categories. If still worrying, read the drug info inserts in detail or ask the prescribing doctor. Besides, not all drugs are tested with all other drugs, but just something potentially relevant. Yet, be alert to report possible side effects...

Question 7

which blood pressure medicine is better benicar (olmesartan) or losartan?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Losartan really is a twice a day medication for blood pressure and if dosed twice a day is equivalent to benicar (olmesartan).  Since losartan is now generic the cost considerations frequently favor the use of losartan.  If dosing only daily i would choose benicar (olmesartan).

azor (amlodipine and olmesartan): This drug is a combination antihypertensive. One beer shouldn't be a problem once in a while but i wouldn't do it regularly.

Question 9
