Hello I have been on Amplodipine 5mg tablets for 18 months but my ankles kept swelling up. They have changed my tablets to Losartan Krka 50mg which I did not take as I thought they made a mistake by giving me 50mg tabs instead of 5mg. The doctor has now said that it is ok to take 50mg as it is the same as the 5mg tabs just a different make .I am not sure about this can you please confirm this is correct I know live in Cyprus and I know of many mistakes that have been made here.. Thank you Linda ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Sorry about the confusion. Yes, if you were on 5mgs of Amlodipine, you'd need 50mgs of the Losartan to be therapeutically equivalent. The Losartan is in a different class of medications, it's an ARB, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, so they work...

How many zolnox tablets csn i use before bedtime, cause on tablet does not make me sleep ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? You should not take more than one, due to the risk of overdose from taking more. The U.S. FDA lists overdose symptoms as possibly including nausea, vomiting, severe dizziness, hallucinations and coma, which could result in death. Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to try a different medication to help you sleep.

I am scheduled to take 1, 3 times a day. they are orange (light) a V on one side, scored and say on the back; 36 score mark 05. I have taken as many as 4 at one time w/o getting relief, but do feel there is a small amount in them, just to keep from withdrawal. ## In addition, I got this RX from the hospital pharmacy, no independent parties were involved. Are these places more likely to get less potent or fake tablets? or was there misuse of the main ingredients in the manufacturing process? ## Most likely it's just that the medication doesn't work well for you for pain. Not everything works for everyone that tries it, which is why there are usually multiple options to try in any therapeutic medication category. Additionally, if you've taken it before, your body may have buil...

how many tylenol #3 equals a 500/500 vicodin, i need to know for arthritic pain. ## It takes 33.33mgs of the Codeine to equal each 5mg dosage of Hydrocodone. Learn more Codeine details here. Learn more Acetaminophen details here. Since the Acetaminophen potentiates the action of the narcotic and you have to be careful of how much of it you take in a day, you may want to just try one tablet and see how well it helps. Did your doctor switch you and not provide any advice?

my script is for clonazepam o.5 mg take 1 or 2 tablets by mouth twice daily. does this mean i can take 4 pills daily? should the qty for 30 days be 120 or 60/ ## Hi, Loumac! How are you? That would normally mean that you can take up to 4 pills a day, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more Clonazepam details here. On the quantity, there is no specific amount that your doctor has to prescribe. There is a maximum that they can't exceed, but if they're expecting you to not always need 4 tablets a day, then they don't have to prescribe that many, they could just prescribe 30 or 60, if they feel it's appropriate. This medication does have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability...

My father turned 74 on May 2, he had a kidney stone broke up with the laser procedure and a stint put in to help him pass the pieces of the broken up stone. His doctor gave him Percocet 7.5 with directions of "take 1 to 2 pills every 4 hours as needed for pain. He's taken 35 pills in the span of (Friday 3p.m. to now Wednesday night 11p.m.) and he still has 15 more left. Is this too many or too much for him to be taking? ## That averages out to not quite 6 pills a day, so he is taking them as directed according to prescribing info you've provided. How is he doing, now? Has there been any change? The FDA does warn that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Where can I purchase sunroot tablets? ## Hi, Pat! How are you? I know these are very popular right now, which is pretty typical with diet fads, but that's really all they are, just a fad and nothing more. They contain an extract from Jerusalem artichokes and it isn't actually proven to help with anything. If you want to lose weight, you should consult your doctor and do so in a safe, healthy manner by eating a proper diet that is low in calories and fats, plus get lots of exercise. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Wrong, they are far from being a Fad Diet, nothing to do with dieting. They are a very good capsule for many ailments and have a proven track record. Get your facts right. ## Can you get sunroot capsules in Australia?

my doctors prescription is has follows AMIODPINE 5MG,BENDROFUMETHIAZIDE 2.5 CANDESARTAN 8MG, HALF INDERAL LA 80MG, ## Hello, Doris! How are you? I understand your concern, many people worry, when they are prescribed multiple medications. However, the relevant question is, while taking them, what are your blood pressure levels and your heart rate? And how high was your blood pressure before taking them? If someone's blood pressure is dangerously high, they are often prescribe multiple medications to bring it down safely as fast as possible to get them out of danger. Then once they are stable at a lower blood pressure level, medications can be stopped or changed, as needed.

What is the meaning of "take 4 capsules per day"? (i.e. How far apart is the dosing schedule?) ## Generally, that would be every 6 hours, but it can depend on the specific medication being asked about. Can you post back with more details? In some cases, it may mean that you can take all 4, at once, it may mean two doses of two capsules, or even taking up to four a day but not always four if not necessary. For instance, I take a medication for nerve pain, and it is prescribed to be taken up to a certain number of times a day, but that doesn't mean it has to be taken so many hours apart, I can take them all at once at night, or take several throughout the day.
