Is Coveram Tablet For Blood Pressure

I have been taking Coveram 5/5 for some time now and had my blood pressure checked about 3 weeks ago (for an insurance that I was taking out). My blood pressure was 85/60 which I believe is very low. I have since stopped taking the Coveram as I was afraid that it was causing my blood pressure to drop too much. I had also been taking a product called Stress-Away (made by TIBB) and wonder if this might have caused this reaction. Since that very low reading, i have also stopped taking the Stress-Away tablets and have felt no ill effects from the lack of either tablet. I am a little concerned about this and was wondering if I am doing any damage to my system. ## Rather than stopping the medication, it would have been better to speak to your doctor, since letting your condition continue untr...

I was placed on coveram 10/10, but can't always afford it, can I use phaemapress 10 my in the meantime, until I can afford it again, , couple off years ago, I used a different high blood pressure tablet, with ridaq and something to prevent gout ( can't remember those names), what is your suggestion, for me to do ## I would suggest speaking to your doctor to ask them about prescribing a more affordable option. They shouldn't have a problem doing so, especially since having you on one medication consistently is better than having you switching regularly due to high prices. Typical side effects of medications for high blood pressure may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications?

is it better to take as low a dosage of coveram as possible which will lower my bp ## Coveram contains Perindopril and Amlodipine and it is used to help lower and control high blood pressure. As to the dosage, you should use whatever dosage your doctor has suggested. If your blood pressure is high, it is necessary to bring it down, as soon as possible. Depending on your levels, that may require a higher dose, for awhile, to bring it down fast. Your doctor should be monitoring you regularly, that way once it does come down to more normal levels, they will be able to see if the medication is taking it too low or just maintaining it there and they can then adjust your dosage accordingly. Have you consulted your doctor on this, yet?

I am 57 and have been taking coveram 5mg for 6 months. About 4 months ago my face started looking like it was permanently sunburnt. My doctor has taken me off it and put me on Coversyl 10mg. Will my face return to its normal colour and if so how long will it take? ## Hello, Annalise! How are you? It depends on what caused the facial flushing. How high is your blood pressure? High blood pressure can cause that in some people and if that's what caused it, it may linger. If it was due to the medication, then it should only take a few weeks for things to return to normal. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Verwon, Thanks for your reply. My blood pressure was normal whilst taking the Coveram. I have been taking a different bp medication for the last month and the redness has g...

It will take about 4 to 6 weeks for it to reach its full effectiveness in your body. That's about the same time that the side effects, if you have any, will reach their peak in intensity and start to taper off. They may include nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension. You can learn more Peridopril details here and there are more Amlodipine details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank You So Much.

Hello, dear doctor. I'm 65 years old and I was using Tritace 10 mg (1 daily), Natrilix SR 1.5 mg (1/2 or 1 daily) and Noten 50 mg (1/2 daily) for my high blood pressure for the past 8 years.Now the cardiologist asked me to change to Coveram 10/5, because my medications are too old now. After 10 days taking Coveram I noticed that my average blood pressure from 137/81 became 134/78 which is almost the same, but my pulse increased from 64 to 75 (in average). What is the normal pulse should be in my age? And can I stay on Coveram only or add Noten (1/4 or 1/2 tablet) with it? Or get back to previous medications? Your opinion is very important to me.

I have been taking coveram for 5 years and would like to know can coveram be broken in half to help get off these tabs. ## I am 79 and have been taking coveram now for 5 years can these tablets be broken in half to help get off these tabs ## Hello, Pam! How are you? What condition were you taking this medication to treat? If it was for high blood pressure, or some cardiac conditions, it may not be safe for you to try to come off of it. In many such cases, there is no cure, only control and management. Why do you wish to stop taking them, are they causing you some problem? The U.S. FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

I am taking Coveram 5mg/5mg , can I take Viagra or Cialles pills with it. I am 55 years old with good health. ## HI, Adam! How are your blood pressure levels? That is what needs to be looked at, before you take something such as Viagra or Cialis. They work in a similar way that blood pressure medications do, but dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow, thus there is a chance that combining them could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to fall too low and put you in danger. The best suggestion I can make is that you check with your doctor, before doing so, due to the risks. ## Hi I'm Jose can I take sildenafil with coveram 10 /5

I am 54 years old, on Coveram 5/10 and I'm pretty certain that I could manage my blood pressure on my own with diet and exercise. I think I was put on it too hastily without really giving these other ways a good go first. I want to stop taking Coveram and try on my own. What are the risks in stopping Coveram suddenly? ## Hello, Jules! How are you? It could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to rebound, which could cause them to hit dangerously high levels. When going off of a medication like this, you should taper off slowly, with your doctor's supervision. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. What are your current levels? ## My doctor has said that I should be 130/...

I had been on Micardis 40 plus for several years and then put on Micardis 80+ for around 2yrs; started to have lots of issues with bp being all over the place and dizzy, tired etc. face flushed, full feeling at any sign of stress.
