I am on 10 mg of Amlodipine Besylate. The pill is usually white in color. I pick up my perscription yesterday, open the bottle and the color was blue, one side had A10 and the other side had a M on it. Is the the right medication. Thanks ## Yes, this tablet also contains 10mgs of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, it is just made by a different manufacturer, than the one you were previously receiving. Pharmacies will often switch which company they order from, whenever they have to restock their supply, according to who is offering the cheapest price. This enables them to offer these generic medications to you, as cheaply as possible. Are there any other questions? ## Ithe was takeingamlodipinine besylate 10mg tmyl a roundblue...

I have been taking 10 mg ofr Amlodipine Besylate. My problem is that it tastes horrible. Are there any of these in the generic that are coated. I gag every time I have to take this pill. Any information would be appreciated so I can ask my doctor for a pill specific if there is one! ## I don't know of any that are coated, but what I can tell you is that if you are tasting it, then you probably aren't taking it properly. Whenever you take medication, it should be places as far back in your mouth/throat, as possible, without choking yourself and immediately swallowed with a full 8 ounce glass of water. If you are tasting it, there is a good chance that you are either letting it sit in your mouth for too long, or not swallowing it with enough liquid to wash it down. If you are doin...

A female patient has been on Bystolic 5 mg in the morning and 5 mg in the evening for 7 days, but it didn’t work for her blood pressure which remained over 185. So Amlodipine besylate 5 mg was added today. The patient is 58yrs old with Graves’ disease and was diagnosed after she had atrial fib. ## They added a new medication after just 7 days? How high is her blood pressure, and how bad is her afib? Most medications in this class take about 4 weeks to reach their full level of efficacy in the body. Although, if someone's blood pressure, or cardiac condition are very high, sometimes more than one is prescribed. The FDA lists the typical side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, and increased urination. Is she on any ...

My pharmacist changed my regular amlodipine 5 mg zyd to amlodipine besylate 5 mg which is a much bigger pill. Is this the right dosage?

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

is the medicine amlodipine besylate medicine time released. ## Hi Barbara, Usually if a medication is time-released it will have one of the following abbreviations at the end of the drug name: XL, ER, SR, or perhaps some other similar notation. From my experience, if a label doesn't actually specify that it's time released in such a way, then it would probably be safe to assume that it's not. However, if you happen to know what the imprint/markings are on your tablet, I'd be happy to verify this for you. I hope this helps! ## The markings on his pill are IG on one side and 239 on the other. Thanks for the help ## What does BES after the printed name? ## @Barbara, My apologies for the late reply, as I just received notification of recent activity on this thread. I'm s...

I am using amlodipine besylate 10 mg once a day for high blood pressure a white pill with the numbers of 93 on one side and the numbers of 7168 on the other side.

For instance, I take Atacand, which contains the active ingredient Candesartan, it is a blood pressure medication, but also helps improve cardiac function, which is why my doctor has prescribed it for me.

what pharmacy in kansas city missouri carries amlodipine besylate 10 mg color blue, round, side1 10,size 2 m. ## I am sorry, but there is no way to know, ahead of time, which pharmacy carries a medication from any given manufacturer. The only thing I can suggest is contacting the pharmacies in your area and asking them. If they don't carry the one manufactured by Mylan, they may be able to order it in for you. Do you have a problem with other manufacturers? ## My patient had an allergic reaction to the Amneal brand of amlodipine but not to the Mylan brand. What do you feel is the difference between the two products?

What is the difference and could i alternate if i ran out of one or the other. ## Losartan is an ARB and Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, so they are different types of medications, which are used to treat the same types of conditions. Different treatments work better for different people and sometimes, a combination may be required. However no, alternating like that isn't advisable, for several reasons. One would be due to the fact that they each take several weeks to reach their full effect in the body, so if you were switching off an on every few weeks, neither medication would actually have the chance to fully do its job. And the next is due to the fact that abruptly stopping these types of medications could cause a rebound effect, which may result in elevated blood pres...

He has a tooth ache and wants to take a hydrocodone But he takes high blood medication ## Hello, Guero! How is your husband? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications, but it's always best to check with one's doctor to be certain. Hydrocodone is a narcotic that carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## clonidine for blood pressure can cause bad dry mouth.
