Starpress Side Effects

I had undergone angioplasty in 2009 and since then I am having Clopitab A 75 after lunch + Losar H in the morning and evening + Starpress XL 25 in the morning + Atorvastatin 5 mg at night. Is there any side effects since I have been taking them for almost 8 years? Pls advise.

BP remainsinthe range of 160/100 - 180/115 despite taking medicines like metoprolol100, metolar100, dilgem90, telma40, olsar, cardace, prazopress, minipress, starpress, amcard, atenolol, atrova, lacilactone, me12, dizide, alprax.25, colsprine100 etc.etc on various intervals but with no effect.even the ecg,tmt,echo,angiography could suggest nothing ## my husband is advice to take TAB CARDACE 2.25 AFTER BREAKFAST. BY MISTAKE HE HAS BEEN TAKING CARDACE 1.25. CAN THIS BE THE CAUSE OF HIS DROWINESS. ## I have been having B.P. ranging from 160/100 to 180/115 and have undertaken all preliminary tests/diagnosis as advised by my consultant doctors except angioplasty which was not recommended. However, different medicines were prescribed including betacard, dicard, metoprolol, metolarxr, dilgem90...

Can change from Sratpress XL 50 to Prolomet XL 50 may result in swetting vomiting dizziness headach etc? ## Hello, Neeru! How are you? They both contain the same active ingredient, which is Metoprolol, so you shouldn't experience any new side effects just switching from one to the other. However, it's difficult to say how any such change may affect any given person and those can be side effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience hair loss and increased urination. It would be best to have this checked out, to be safe. Is there anything else I can help with?

I used to take ecospirin 75 , storvas 10, starpress XL 25mg 1 tablet each per day for the last one year. Today my doctor changed the medicine and prescribe me to take ATORFIT CV 10mg & srarpress xl 25mg. Dont I need to take ecospirim 75 mg(which is blood thinner), I had gone through three stenting about one year 4 months back. ## Hello, Debasish! How are you? Atorfit-CV contains the active ingredients Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel. The Clopidogrel is used to help prevent clotting, so it's basically replaced the Ecosprin. Learn more Atorvastatin details here. Learn more Clopidogrel details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, joint/muscle aches and increased risk of bleeding.

I suffered a CVA .the doctors prescribed minipress xl 5 mg and cilacar 5mg both in the morning and evening.i am also taking clopilet 75 and rosuvas 20.i am having severe pain in my right leg and right knee joint.now my doctor has directed me take minipress only in the evening.is it okay to stop minipress in the morning abruptly. ## It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions. The NIH warns that these medication may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Have you made the change, yet? Has the pain improved? ## I am taking cilacar 10, starpress XL 50 Arkamin 0.01 for long. Now my legs are swelling and Dr has changed cilacar with minipress 5mg Is it OK ? Will lt control my BP and also get rid of eh swelling ?
