Amlopres L

I am 46 .I have hyppertnsion for the past one year .I am using half amlopres 5 Mg at the morning my bp already was 14/10 now ~13/9 but i am suffering from PVC which makes fast heart beat in day and night for me my question is that is it drug side effect or not pl explain . ## Have you consulted your doctor? Amlopres contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and it can cause those types of symptoms, but they can also be caused by elevated blood pressure, or other cardiac related issues. Thus, you need to talk to your doctor to get to the root of the problem.

I am 66 yrs and for the last one year taking Amplopres 5 to control my BP. Recently I developed Tinnaitus ie a mild sound from ear comming all time. ENT Doctor says could be the side effect of Amplopres 5. Kindly somebody advice. ## Amlopres contains the active ingredient Amlodipine, it is a calcium channel blocker and yes, according to the information it can cause tinnitus as a side effect, though it is very rare for it to do so. Learn more Amlopres details here. There alternative medications on the market that you can try, so I strongly urge you to consult your doctor about switching and see if the tinnitus goes away. Is there anything else I can help with?

dear sir, doctor prescribed me Amlopress A-7 .but its not available what is the reason.I was taking Diovan80mg+con core 2.5mg.is this medicine equlaient to Amlopress A7or Amlopress AT.Iam waiting for your answer. ## Amlopres contains the active ingredient Amlodipine and the Amlopres-AT contains Amlodipine and Atenolol. Learn more Amlodipine details here. Learn more Atenolol details here. And no, the other medications aren't the same. Have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist/chemist to help you find an equivalent medication? Your doctor may also be able to prescribe something different that is available.

I have been prescribed for High BP (persistent at 150/100 for last six months), Amlopres-AT, which I am now taking for the last two months. The BP is steady at 130/80. However, lately, I am having marginal swelling in the foot/ankle which develops during the day, but disappears in the early morning. I am taking Amlopres-AT after breakfast. I want an opinion on the following: 1. Is the swelling likely to develop and be a permanent side effect if I continue with Amlopres-AT? Is there an alternate medicine w/o side effect? 2. Will taking tablet for hypertension lead to Diabetics? My weight is 72Kg(Ht -5 ft 3") - I am walking for one hour daily and also changed diet as per nutritionist recommendation to reduce calorie intake. I do not have any diabetic problem now. However I am taking a...

I had taking amlopres 5mg for 4 months my doc prescribed it when my bp reading was 175/90 now i had stopped taking the medicine and feel normal.can i stop this medicine forever?my bp has dat much high for the first time?what is my condition? ## Hi, Shihab! How are you? There are reasons that high blood pressure (hypertension) is called "The Silent Killer" and that's because people that have it often feel normal and have no symptoms, whatsoever…..until they suffer heart failure, a heart attack or a stroke. Thus, just because you felt fine, you shouldn't have stopped the medication. You've actually put yourself in danger by doing that, because it can cause a rebound effect that may cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go even higher than it was before. Lea...

What is difference between these two medicines, pl specify their respective use. ## Hi, Sharma! I'm always happy to help, if I can! Amlong AT contains the active ingredients Amlodipine and Atenolol, so it combines a calcium channel blocker with a beta blocker, this combination is most commonly used to help treat high blood pressure, but is also sometimes used for certain cardiac conditions. Amlong MT contains Amlodipine and Metoprolol, so it just has a different beta blocker in it, but it's used to treat the same types of conditions. It's really just that the same medications don't always work for everyone, so there are generally several combinations available to provide other treatment options. Side effects for both may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotensio...

My wife has Metropolol 50mg on hand. When I run out of mine can I take that? Should I take 1/2 or 1/4? Or am I better to wait 6 wks and get amlopres 5?

im taking amlopres 5mg last 3 years im 48 years old this tablet any side effects. Kidny or heart now my bp 120/80 can i stop medicine? ifi take long time any problem? ## You should continue the medication for as long as your doctor instructs you to do so. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. While there can be some health risks to taking it long term, it is far more risky to have uncontrolled high blood pressure, because that could cause conditions such as heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure, which can be fatal. Are you on any other medications? ## I've been taking 10mgs of amlopres a day (5mg in the morning and 5mg in the evening). Will this medicine affect any of my bodily organs?

Daily I drik alcohol eat and then I take amlopress 10mg - is there any side effect. ## Alcohol can worsen the side effects of the medication, so you may experience more nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headaches than usual, as reported by the U.S. FDA. How much do you drink? Is your doctor aware of your drinking?

What is your idea about this new drags. ## By using new prescribe how will be my blood pressure ,lower or higher ? ## Hi Mandi, Sorry to hear about your conditions. Unfortunately I haven't come across any specific details regarding a medication by the name of "Loser 100mgs"; however I am seeing that Amlopres (Amlodipine) is used to treat hypertension, and Tamsulosin is used (in men) to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. So given the information in your description, it does seem to me that those two drugs are appropriate for the said conditions. The only other thing that ...

Which part of this white and orange tablet is amlodipine? ## The active ingredient in Amlopres AT is Amlodipine and Atenlol, That said, the medications are usually mixed together, so there wouldn't be any part of the tablet that is just Amlodpine, if you need it, by itself, you would have to get the regular Amlopres, rather than the AT. Do you have any other questions? ## Sir, I am 56 taking AlmopressAT25 one in the morning as per Dr direction since 4 months.

So can I take Viagra to solve my erectile issue. ## What have your recent blood pressure levels been? Viagra is not safe to take, if you have low blood pressure, because it could cause it fall even lower, which may put your life in danger. Thus, you should only take it, if your doctor approves. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, runny nose and priapism.

I am 72, taking Telma 80mg after breakfast and Amlopress 5mg after dinner. Usually my BP in the morning is 140/85 but only after a breakfast of fruits like bananas, pomegranates, dates, apples, guava, etc. However, my BP frequently rises at times to 175/98, instead of decreasing, after about 2 hours. Is it due to the potassium in the fruits? For the last two days I've also been feeling dizziness. Should I switch to some other medicine for hypertension? I play tennis in the evening for half an hour. My pulse is about 65 bpm.
