Which Medicine Is Better For Kidney

89 Topics Found

I recently got off this drug because of a cough and serious kidney problems. Has anybody out there had kidney issues. New meds hace brought my kidneys back somewhat. But will never be the same. ## Kidney problems from Lisinopril are rare, but they have been reported to occur in some people that take it. In many cases it has the complete opposite effect and is given to help protect the kidneys from other medical conditions and medications. What medications are you using now? ## Amlodipine 5 mg. Kidneys got better after I started taking this. Dr said it was dehydration but I think it was the meds or both. GFR went from 41 to 50 after taking for only 10 days. Always was 60. Boy was I scared.

Any good results on renal kidney cancer. need help on shrinking advanced stage tumors.. now on votrient.. not sure in sutent is better.. anu suggestions ## Have been on Sutent (4yrs). No longer working. Am to start Votrient in 2 wks. I hope it will work. The side effects are hopefully not as bad as the sutent. Going to the bathroom 10 times a day get to be a little much. The bitter taste usually only last 14 out of the 28 days. ## You should take the medication that your doctor feels is best for you. The FDA warns that they may all cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. How are you both doing, now? Are either of you on any other medications?

I'm diabetic, have hypertension, CHF, & early renal failure. Doctor subjected me to arteriogram yesterday for spells of short of breath & angina, but balked at doing ANYTHING (no angioplasty, stents-nothing, for 7 vessels blocked at least 90% because my kidneys were having issues according to labwork. But he gave my husband samples & scrip for Ranexa, said start taking it & in 2 weeks I'll feel better. I'm reading the patient booklet and the prescriber info and ALL over both is listed kidney failure & renal failure. If kidney failure & avoiding dyalisis was the reason we did nothing to FIX my problem, why give me a drug that CAUSES kidney failure? How many people got kidney failure from taking Ranexa? Thanks! ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? It isn't ...

I got hot wax spilled on me from one of those wax burners that you plug in and makes your house smell amazing. Well it has burned my skin pretty bad in a few different spots causing bleeding, scabing and greenish/yellow nasty odor discharge. I have been cleaning it with peroxide and putting triple antibiotic cream but have some leftover and a refill for more of these h49 pills. Will they help with the skin infection to get better and not worse? ## To be honest, while the antibiotic may help, it is really time to see your doctor. While I'm fairly certain an antibiotic may help, there's a chance that you don't have enough to full eradicate this infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarr...

My brother (who has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome) has been taking tacromus and omnacortil along with some other medicine as prescribed by his super specialist kidney doctor since 2011. However, his condition has been unpredictable. Recently, without informing his doctor we let him stop his medication and gave him our local herbal juice & amazingly his monthly test result showed a better result than it did during his time on medication. In the next appointment/consultation, his doctor lowered the dose of medicine & we still didn't disclose about it... Since one cannot just ignore doctors who are life savers and specialize in the field, my question here is, should we still rely on my brother's doctor advice? Could I have some of your valuable inputs please? ## Ab...

I recently had a UTI and was given Bactrim for three days and felt better. It's been almost a week and I suddenly have the symptoms back long with lower back pain. Seeing that it is almost 7:30 pm on a Sunday, I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to call and go in and see the doctor. The doctor was pleased that I stopped taking Phenazopyridine two days before going in for the urine culture to detect the UTI. Will Phenazopyridine interfere with diagnostics for a kidney infection? I would love to be able to relieve some of my symptoms before morning, but I will not if it means they will not get the proper results for the diagnostics they need. ## The only warning I've found on anything like this has to do with it interfering with urinary diagnostics for diabetics, although y...

taking 1 hydro.5-500 per day for old back injury. A new pain has developed in the side (kidney area) that is worse than the back pain. stopped taking tylenol a year ago for the same reason. what is going on? ## Even though you may have stopped taking Tylenol, the Vicodin you are taking 1 a day contains 500mg of Acetaminophen; which is the main ingredient in Tylenol. I'm no doctor, so I'm not certain what's going on in your system, but you may be better off switching to Oxycodone or something that doesn't contain Acetaminophen. Your doctor should be able to give you an answer as to why your body is reacting the way it is.

How are you? Has there been any change? Have they done a scan to see if you might have a kidney stone? As reported by the NIH, it can cause symptoms that are very similar to a urinary or bladder infection. That's actually how I found out I had one, I thought I had an infection and went to the ER, only to discover I had a rather large stone that was passing.

Pls provide the actual use of the Sulperazone ## I'm overseas & my husband came down with pneumonia after long term intubation (he had a stroke) they were giving him Sulperazone for 14 days & then stopped. He still has bloody lung secretions. They believe that Sulperazone causes kidney damage. They will start it again if he develops a fever. Is there a better medicine & do you think he is getting the right care??

My Dr has cut my Cymgen from 60mg to 30mg i am feeling out of sorts is that normal. She said its not good to take antidepressants for so long. But i felt fine taking them is it bad? ## Hello, Delwynne! How are you? There are risks with taking any medication on a long-term basis, but many people do require them for the rest of their lives, be it an antidepressant, a heart medication, a blood thinner, or a blood pressure medication. The risks may possibly include stomach ulceration, liver damage, liver failure or kidney damage/failure, as reported by the FDA. And yes, with such an abrupt lowering of your dosage, it is normal to feel out of sorts, it can cause withdrawal effects. Have you considered getting a second opinion from a different doctor? ## Hi there I am feeling a lot better. Do...

I have been on norco for 3 years. I take up to 5, 10/325 mg tablets. I have recently found out I have an inflammed pancreas. Also, in the past I have had kidney problems. I also take lots of other medications, and I am concerned about my liver, and inflammed pancreas. I want to take an opiate pain killer without acetaminophen, ibprofen, and naproxen because they are bad for your liver. How do I get a drug like that? Why do they put those other otc meds in the pain killer, when it hurts your liver/ ## Hello, Saree! How are you? The Acetaminophen and NSAIDs tend to augment the action of the narcotic in some people, so they often get better pain relief from a lower dose of the narcotic. However, there are many available that do not contain any of them, such as Zohydro, Oxycontin, Roxicodon...

Aliskiren (brand names Tekturna and Rasilez) is the first in a class of drugs called direct renin inhibitors. It is used for essential (primary) hypertension.[1] While used for high blood pressure, other better studied medications are typically recommended due to concerns of higher side effects and less evidence of benefit.[2] In December 2011, Novartis halted a trial of the drug after discovering increased nonfatal stroke, kidney complications, high blood pota...

HAVING UNENDING MUSCLE SPASMS IN UPPER BACK, ALMOST BAD AS A KIDNEY STONE PAIN YEARS AGO. WHICH IS BETTER I HAVE HAD SOMA,AND SOME PEOPLE SAY FLEXERIL.SOMA JUST MADE ME SLEEPY,ALSO TRIED HYDROCODON#5OT MUCH BETTER? ## Have you consulted a doctor? Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol and Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, both of which are muscle relaxants, so they will only help if your pain and problems are caused strictly from muscle pain and spasms. Hydrocodone is a narcotic, that may help with most types of pain and there are higher dosages available that contain 7.5mgs and 10mgs of it. However, only your doctor is going to be able to help you determine what is causing the problem and arrive at a proper treatment option. ## Soma is the only med I...
