Norvasc 10

I am concerned about my mother because she is experiencing ankle edema for 3 months now while taking norvasc. and one time my mother mentioned to me she experienced epistaxis (nosebleed) while walking in the mall. she said she took norvasc that morning before going to the mall and when the nurse checked her bp it was high:160/100.after taking a rest her bp normalized. when she asked her physician then she only prescribed diuretic to subside the edema. should we change her medicine and should we be alarmed by such incidence? ## The edema is a normal side effect, however, the elevated blood pressure and nose bleed are not! I suggest speaking to her doctor.

I started taking 10 mg of Norvasc 4 days ago and my feet & ankles were swollen to capacity. They almost hurt and they felt very hot. It was given to me for high blood pressure. ## This is one of the bad side effects of the drug. I've been taking Norvasc for almost 6 years now. It had the same effect on me and I can only take 5 mg. a day without the swelling. I have also developed a rash on my lower legs as well and was told by a dermatologist that it could be from the medicine. I take 3 drugs to try and control my BP but I have yet to find anything that controls things. I've had hypertension for 20 years now and I fear that any day I will have a stroke or heart attack or kidney problems. Hope you will talk to your doctor about your ankles swelling. Most people have that prob...

i accidentally took amlodipine besylate 10mg(usually am) along with losartan potassium 50mg(usually pm). Will this cause a problem for me? ## Did you contact your doctor? Did you experience any problems? There aren't any dangerous interactions that I can find listed, these medications are often prescribed together to help control high blood pressure and/or treat certain cardiac conditions. However, taking them at the same time could result in some hypotension, which may make you dizzy and drowsy. If it's very severe, you may need to seek medical attention.

I have been taking 10 mg of Norvasc daily for a year and a half and have suffered all the negative side effects. I also take 80 mg of Lisinopril daily. My BP prior to adding Norvasc was anywhere from 165/95 to 200/95 (at this time I was taking Cozaar and Lisinopril). BP is now 124/85 to 145/95 BUT the side effects are so severe my quality of life is all but destroyed and I am pretty sure it is not the Lisinopril causing the side effects. My cardiologist gave me an Rx for 5 mg of Norvasc and told I can reduce the dosage but he can't guarantee my BP will not sky rocket. MY QUESTION IS, HAS ANYONE REDUCED THE DOSAGE THEY WERE TAKING OF NORVASC AND DID THEIR BP INCREASE APPRECIABLY? ## Hello, Alan! How are you? That is always a risk, when lowering the dosage of such a medication. Why di...

What prescription drug can replace Norvasc and Cartia with low incidence of side effects. I already take Lisiniprol and Atenolol. ## Dr. just replaced novasc & lipitor with cadulet 10mg/20mg. He said this one pill will work better than those two pills. I'm also trying to find out side effects. ## Caduet is a combination medication that contains Amlodipine, which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, with Atorvastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol. Learn more Caduet details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. As to medications to replace others, it is usually best to discuss such things with your doctor, because there's really no way to say that any particular medication may cause you less side e...

i am taking lisinoril 10mg qd can i be taken off lisinopril and put on diovan160/10 OR Norvasc 10 mg? ## Well, it really depends on your medical history, any other conditions you are under treatment for and any other medications you are on. All 3 of the medications you mentioned are in different classes, so they work in different ways to help lower blood pressure or prevent heart failure. Lisinopril works by relaxing the blood vessels and it is an effective med for many people. Norvasc, which contains the active ingredient Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker. And Diovan contains the active ingredient Valsartan, which is an Angiotensin II Receptor Agonist. There are many things that can affect which one is most effective for you and, for some people, only a combination...

Did Norvasc change the color of Lotrel 10 40. It usually is a blue cap with Lotrel imprinted on on it. last refill pill is blue and white cap with E16 imprint. Pharmacist says they changed. ## Okay, first Norvasc is not the name of the manufacturer, that is actually the name of another medication. Lotrel is a name brand for a combination medication that contains Amlodipine and Benazepril, which is manufactured by Novartis. The capsule you received from your pharmacy is a generic for Lotrel, which contains the same active ingredients in the same dosage, they are manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The pills I received from the pharmacy are blue and white with E16 imprinted on them, however, the manufacturer is sandoz-cs (geneva). Is that the ...

My grandma is taking losartan 100mg OD. She accidentally took the medication twice a day. Which stressed us. What is the effect of this medication to my grandma's hypertension/condition? She doesn't feel anything unusual though. ## Hello, Val! How are you and how is your grandmother doing? Have you checked her blood pressure?
