Trying to find out more about zanidip as im on amloc for a month now and have server swelling in power limbs and feet. Is zanidip gonna be different. please advise Regards jason schwartz south Africa durban ## Hello, Jason! How are you? Zanidip contains the active ingredient Lercanidipine, it's also a calcium channel blocker, just like the Amlodipine in the Amloc. Learn more Zanidip details here. Learn more Amloc details here. So no, it's probably not going to help much to switch to it. Have you consulted your doctor? It would most likely be better to try a different class of medications.

I have been taking coveram, but was then changed to amloc and perindopril, and since then I have had erectile dysfunction. What can I do because I'm thinking of stopping these blood pressure medications? ## Hi David, Another David here (Lol) - Sorry to hear about your side effects after switching medications. From what I've researched, a "loss of interest or pleasure" is listed as a less common side effect of Perindopril; which sounds exactly like what you're describing. Personally, I think you should do what feels right for yourself after weighing out the pros and cons of taking these medications (or perhaps just Perindopril in particular). There are numerous blood pressure medications and natural alternatives on the market for effectively managing hypertension. How...

Are Amlodipine Amlovasc the same as Amlodipine besylate? ## Yes, Amlovasc is just a brand name for Amlodipine, so Amlodipine is the generic and is usually cheaper to purchase. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I live in South Africa and do not know if this will be of any help. I use Amloc, 5mg. Amloc is amlodipine maleate, which does not cause any swelling. Previously I was on amlodipine besylate which caused me to swell up like I was trying to outdo an elephant. My neighbor experienced the same - besylate causes swelling, maleate does not. Both are amlodipine, only different components of it.

Can someone enlighten me, please? I take the following medicines: Eltroxin, Cardicor, Zartan, Amloc, Puresis, Allopurinol, Plenish K, Ultimag, Estro-pause, Adco-Dol (for migraines. Allergic to everything else, also those supposed to be preventative.) My concern is the Allopurinol. I have read somewhere that it may cause sudden death. Because of the Puresis I have no alternative, as nothing I do dietwise, do anything to bring down the uric acid count. Please advise me, as I am with my back to the wall. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Also information concerning the negatives of proton pump inhibitors. Thank you ever so much. ## I’m 74 years old and had gout cause by excess Utica acid for 10 years until I read on the internet the “CHERRY REPORT “. I now take...

Hi I was on Amloc 10mg daily for years and my BP was well controlled. Over the years though i started experiencing serious hair loss. I was put on Zanidip 10mg daily. After 3 weeks my doctor decided to increase the dose to 20mg daily as my BP was higher than it should be. After commencing the increased dosage i started experiencing rapid heart beat and palpitations. dizziness, breathlesness and a feeling that I had an elephant on my chest . Doctor suggested splitting the dose and taking 10mg in the morning and 10 at night. This has improved the situation but is not perfect. As both Zanidip and Amloc are Calcium Channel blockers is there reason for the new side effects since changing. ## It is always possible to experience new side effects, when you start taking a different medication, y...

Does prexum effect the male erection. Also experiencing mascular pain/spasm in lower and upper back. On prexum for approximately six months and have lost all my libido ! Previously very active but of late feel very lethargic and depressed. Can it all be from drinking prexum plus for my HBP condition? ## Prexum contains the active ingredient Perindopril, it is an ACE inhibitor that is used to treat high blood pressure. And yes, these medications can cause all of the problems you are experiencing. Have you spoken to your doctor about it, yet? You will probably need to be switched to a different medication. ## Does this effect your weight? ## I am a diabetic and also suffer from high blood pressure. I use carvetrend, prexum, amloc and glucovance. My doctor recently took me off carvetrend. ...

whic tablet is better amloc or tazloc

I cannot remember whether Amloc 5mg was originally prescribed for me and was changed to Pearinda. Are both medications prescribed for hypertension to be taken simultaneously or should it be the one or the other?
