Arthri D Si De Effects

My father, a 60 year old active man, started taking diovan. Shortly after, he began to have severe systemic joint pain. Medication was changed to Lotrel 5/10mg. After a week of taking it, he started with joint pain again. This joint pain is not localized. It is generalized through all of his joints. We were not certain it was the Lotrel, but he stopped it anyway. After being off of the medication for a few days, the joint pain decreased to his normal arthritis pain. He stayed off for a little over a week, then his bp required him to take a dose of medication si he restarted Lotrel. After 2 doses, the joint pain returned. His dc says that Lotrel should not cause this side effect and doesn't want to change the medication. Has anyone ever heard of this side effect before? Please help #...

I am 43 year old mother of two. i am suffering from arthritis and have been taking Folitrax 10 mg from the past 4 years 1 tablet per week. I have hot flashes at night and i feel like i am having memory loss and despite my repeated hard work i am not able to lose weight instead i am gaining it. are these possible side effects of the medication ? kindly help me soon. ## Hi, Sunita! It's really difficult to say for sure what might be causing these symptoms, though they aren't usually caused by the Folitrax. At your age, they could very well be due to hormonal fluctuations from having anovulatory cycles. Perimenopause can start as young as 35, but is most common in the early to mid-40's and the issues you're experiencing are typical signs of a lack of ovulation causing you t...

Has anyone had hair loss after taking Mobic? ## I've been losing tons of hair the past month and just read this. My hairdresser said it's probably either stress or all the meds I'm on for an arthritic condition.

Have you found a definitive answer to the hair loss question yet? ## I started Mobic 3 months ago and am losing lots of hair each day. Mobic works great but will be bald soon if I cannot stop this. Any suggestions? ## I ended up being taken off Mobic because of drop in blood count and slow gastro bleed (had been taking Feldene for about nine months prior), so I can't take any anti-inflammatories anymore...not even OTC Motrin. ...
