Ridaq

I am male 63 and am taking 1 per day for high bp. My weight is dropping and I have had no libido for 5 years. What can i use? ## Hello, Andy! How are you? How much fluid do you take in each day? This medication contains Hydrochlorothiazide, which removes fluid from the body. Given the weight loss, it may be removing too much and causing dehydration. The lack of libido is also a common side effect of it, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness and headache. You might be better off trying a different medication. Have you discussed these problems with your doctor? ## I am a 67 years old woman I am on ridaq 25mg since I was 50 years old. I have a problem with my left arm, I struggling to sleep on my left side, even my left buttock its affected. What can be the cause?

My mother will be 90 years old in August 2019. She was prescribed Furosemide 40mg, 2 tablets in the morning and 1 tablet at 2pm. (prescribed after cardiac failure) She also drinks 1x Ridaq 12.5mg each morning after breakfast. Other medication is Isosorbide Dinitrate 10, 1 tablet 3x per day. She drinks +- 1.5lt water pd. She's complaining of having to get to the toilet 4/5x during night +- once every 30-45 during the day. Could the Furosemide and Ridaq dosages too much for her. Thank you ## That is a normal side effect of both Furosemide and the Hydrochlorothiazide in the Ridaq, they are both intended to remove excess fluid from her body to help prevent future congestive heart failure, they can also help to lower high blood pressure. She should make sure her doctor is aware of how of...

It is also normal to feel a but awful, for awhile, due to being used to your body running at a higher blood pressure level and heart rate, so your body has to get used to the changes. However, if it becomes too severe, you should consult your doctor. Has there been any change, yet? ## Thank you very much Verwon, ive noticed im be...

What is the purpose of ridaq 12.5 what are the side effects when you drink the pills and how long can you drink them ## The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and dehydration. You should take them as long as your doctor instructs you to do so. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Goodmorning I am drinking Ridaq an d perindorpril for high blood presure, will it let for me loose little bit weight for I am overweight. ## My blood pressure is too high .this is now second time when i check.so i was offered ridaq pills to use. since i finish them i stopped use them.and now my blood pressure is too high

I am 30 years old and always feeling dizzy with headaches. Do you think I could take Ridaq for relief? Please help because I don't know if I have high blood pressure. ## This medication is listed as containing Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that is used to remove excess fluid from the body. The NIH warns that it could actually cause dizziness, and headaches, as side effects, along with nausea, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted a doctor to see what might be causing your symptoms? ## I take ridag tablets been t my bp is 116/67 can I continue taking them even if I suffer from dizziness

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?

How are you? No, none of those medications contain Aspirin. They are all used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. The typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dehydration and hypotension. However, please make sure that your doctor knows you are taking them, before the surgery occurs. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I use Jadelle whilst I am on BP medications Enalapril 20 mg and Ridaq 12.5mg once a day? ## Has your doctor approved your using it? Since it contains only a form of Progesterone and it does not usually cause blood pressure issues in most women. It's usually the ones that contain estrogen that cause blood pressure and heart rate elevations, according to FDA reports. However, the final decision is always up to you and your doctor as to its safety for you. Is your blood pressure under control taking these medications? ## Yes my blood pressure is controlled and I once it for 5 years but that is before I was diagnosed with hypertension. Thank you very much for your assistance and advice I really appreciate it.

ridiq is a small white pill , but what is it used for? ## Actually I spelt the word wrongly, it is Ridaq, and depending on the mg prescribed it can either be white or pink. ## Based on my research Ridaq contains the active ingredient Hydrochlorothiazide; which is a diuretic, used alone or together with other medications to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention (edema). You can learn more about this drug on the page for Hydrochlorothiazide Details I hope this info helps! Any thoughts on how well this medication works compared to the generic?

I am very concerned about the present shortage of Pur Bloka which was originally prescribed to assist the tremors in 2014, and this has been part of my chronic medication ever since. Dasage 20mg twice daily. This is now the second time that I have experienced a shortage in supply. My concern is that I tend to commence suffering from quite severe angina which usually occurs when I go to bed at night. Could this develop into something serious? Suffered Myocardial infarction in 1993. Other chronic medicines prescribed for hypertention are Ridaq 12.5mg daily and Enap 10mg twice daily. Please adivise when Purbloka will be available again?

My mom is 60 years old. Is there a drug equivalent to Amlodac 5 in the US that I can get over the counter or so. She needs it only for 5 days.She had the meds for 6 months and fgt to get her prescriptions. Now she has run out of it and will be returning India in 5 days. ## No, I'm sorry, but these types of medications are only available by prescription here. However, if she can get or already has a prescription, you can just purchase 5 days worth of tablets at the pharmacy, you just have to tell them that's all you want. You can always purchase less of a prescription in the U.S., just not more of it than it is written for.
