Side Effects Of Coveram 5 5mg

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 had been taking 10 mg Losartan for several years. Checked my blood pressure yesterday and it was at 180/80. So I took one 5mg Coveram yesterday, and today my blood pressure is 117/77. No side effects whatsoever. Coveram 5mg worked immediately. ## It really varies from person to person, different medications work better for different people, since everyone is different. The NIH lists the typical ones for this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. How are you doing, now?

Is Coveram 5mg +5mg Have Any Interactions with Grapefruit or grapfruit juice ? ## Hi Nick, The answer to your question is Yes, One or more of the active ingredients found in Coveram does have an interaction with Grapefruit in general. The interaction mentions that the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice may slightly increase plasma concentrations of the drug; particularly the ingredient "Amlodipine". At this point in time, data regarding this issue has been conflicting and the clinical significance is unknown. Monitoring for calcium channel blocker adverse effects (e.g., headache, hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, edema) is recommended though. I hope this information helps!

I.V BEEN TAKING NOTEN 50 MG FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS BUT MY BLOOD PRESSURE STILL HIGH 150/90. NOW MY DOCTOR ASK ME TO TAKE COVERAM 5MG. CAN I TAKE NOTEN AND COVERAM TOGHETER? ALSO ANY EFFECT FROM ALCOHOL AS I DRINK 3 SHOT OF SCOTCH EVERY NIGHT ## Hello, Sakhr! How are you? Yes, you can take both of these medications, at once. Such medications are often combined, when someone has treatment resistant high blood pressure. Side effects may include nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, hypotension, dry cough and stomach pain. And yes, alcohol can be cardiotoxic, so it could be contributing to your problem and could also worsen the side effects of the medication. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I am taking coveram 1/2 of 5mg tablet as doctor was still concerned about BP, I increased to a full tablet. My small continuous stomach ache is now much worse mainly during the night. Coversyl plus did the same and ended up in hospital with acute pancreatitis and that is why I was changed over to Coveram. ## The following symptoms are all listed as side effects of Coveram: stomach pain diarrhea constipation muscle cramps feeling sick (nausea) Does the stomach ache still occur even when you are off the medication? I was thinking perhaps it could have something to do with foods you may have been eating, but those side effects make it pretty clear that Coveram is the main issue here. None the less it's probably wise to stop taking these types of medications in general if your body just...

Yes, there is a risk, it could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to drop too low, which may put you in danger. You should not combine these medications, unless your doctor approves. The U.S. FDA lists the other possible side effects of Cialis as including nausea, dizziness, stuffy nose and priapism. Is there anything else I can help with?
