I Took To Of The Same Pill In Day When Should Have Taking It Once Daily

I'm 68, no one so far can control my blood pressure. 244/161 the highest so far. Just left hospital for three days. At my request, doctor gave me Cloraz Dipot to ease my anxiety of taking blood pressure, and taking the new medicine. My other medicine made me sick, ended up calling 911. My problem? I can't tell I took Cloraz. Shouldn't I? It's 3.7mg. Will taking two hurt? I take: Lisinopril, 20mg. once a day Metoprolol tart, 50mg, twice daily Hydralazine 25mg, three times daily for bl. pressr. And it's still just as high at times. They don't know what to do. Sent me home. To die? You think? Any help? They say my heart is fine. Had stress test, etc. At St. Anne's hospital. Thank you. Sage ## Same with my mom she's 72 now but its been going on for years they...

My Dr. says I should take Uroxatral after supper. Your instructions says take after each meal? I originaly understood my Dr. to say after each meal. His nurse,days later says after supper? ## This is the first time I noticed to take 1 tablet by mouth daily after a meal. I always took it after 6:00 pm. Not observing the meal bit. ## This website does not manufacture, nor distribute any medications, it is an information only website, so it does not create, nor influence the instructions given with any medication. That said, according to the information provided by the FDA about Uroxatral, it is said that it should be taken once daily, just after a meal, being sure to take it at the same time each day. However, you should always follow your doctor's instructions, they supersede any oth...

The daily pill I took for anxiety was light green, round, small, flat, had a letter on it, and I took it once a day. I think the medical name for it started with an A. Can you tell me what the name of it was? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? There are many tablets on the market that match that description. Just taking a wild guess based on that and the fact that you think it started with an A, I'm going to ask if Alprazolam sounds familiar? It is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, the brand name for it is Xanax. Learn more Xanax details here. It has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Do you still see the same doctor? If so, it should be listed in your med...

pink oblong v like mark on front 3600 on back ## what are the long term effects of taking two 750 mg. of lor a tab ? ## The pill in question in the original post is 10mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen. So yes, a generic version. ## Sandy, as to your question, the 750mgs in there is actually not the amount of the narcotic, Hydrocodone, but the mgs of Acetaminophen. So if you are talking about doubling up and taking 2 at the same time, you run into the same problems as if you took too many Tylenol or a generic version. Acetaminophen can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and etc. So by taking 2, you put 1500mgs of it into your body at once, which is way more than anyone should be taking at one time. The daily limit on it is just 4grams, or 4,000mgs, so if you did that s...

Could meloxicam 15mg be taken alongside 800mg ibuprofen for RA? My Dr prescribed the meloxicam 15mg once daily. I've been taking the ibuprofen 800mg every 4 to 6 hours. Can I take both or is it safer to just take one? ## Since they are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, you should stick with one or the other. According to NIH reports, doubling up increases the risk of blood thinning, bleeding, and stomach ulceration. Have they both been prescribed by the same doctor? Are you on any other medications? ## Hi, I normally take ibuprofen. I took a 15mg Meloxicam this morning and it doesn’t work as well as the ibuprofen. How long do I have to wait to switch back? I have severe lower back pain and sciatica and take Neurontin, Tizanidine and Endocet along with the ibuprofen. 8 hou...

i took four 30mg ones this morning instead of two will i be ok as i feel a little weird and i am pregnant ## Why are you taking several at the same time anyway? Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, but it's usually taken once daily, maybe twice for severe conditions, but then the doses are spaced apart. Learn more Omeprazole details here. Did your doctor tell you to take 2 at once?

I just found out that I have to take a hair follicle and urine test in about a month for a summer internship. I recently took one vivance and one Adderall exactly one week apart and am not on a prescription for either. I know they won't show up on the urine test seeing that I sweat daily working out, but will they show up on the hair follicle test since I only took them once each? ## Sorry I cant help you, but I am in almost the exact same situation. I got a 5 panel hair test in 5 days. Please lemme know if you passed or not. ## Looking for more info regarding if people passed hair test following very minimal amphetamine use. I'm in similar situation and am nervous. Lots of ppl asking the question but no follow ups with outcome! ## I am also in a similar situation. Does anyone k...
