Hello, my mom is 58 yr old and has recently recovered from ICH and still now recovering from hemipareisis. For bp control she has been prescribed ctd6.25 along with telmisartan 80 and nebivolol 5 mg. It has been 3 days and her bp is still not showing any improvement. How much time it would take. Also she feels dizzy and nausea. Will it go after some time or I shall ask doc to change the medication. Please help ## It can take about 4 to 5 weeks for these medications to reach their full level of efficacy in the body to see if they will work to lower her BP, or not. If they do not, after that time period, you should inform her doctor. And yes, the side effects should go away, after the same approximate time frame, once her body gets used to the medication. According to the NIH, she may als...

I started taking this drug 2 days ago as the beta blocker I was on was making me feel terrible but I am having the same side effects. My heart is pounding, I feel nauseous and very weak all day. My blood pressure readings have however improved. Should I keep on taking the drug and hope as my body gets used to it the side effects will wear off? It's quite scary sometimes as my heart is pounding so heavily and I am spending most of the day lying down in bed. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the NIH, you may also experience dizziness, headache, and increased urination. Side effects are typically transient and should taper off, then go away entirely, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take 5 to 6 weeks. If they do not, or if they...

i got 2 questions... 1) how long does this take to get out of your system and when does it start taking effect 2) is this drug considerd dangerous ? ## Hello, Jason! How are you? This is a diuretic that is most commonly used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, edema, and congestive heart failure. It isn't dangerous, per se, as long as you take it as directed and are careful to not let yourself become dehydrated. It usually starts working within 15 to 20 minutes of taking it, but it can take about a month for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body. However, if you allow yourself to become dehydrated, it may affect your kidney function. Bodily elimination can take anywhere from 200 to 360 hours. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The FDA lists its typ...

Has anyone ever broke out in a itchy hives rash while taking this med..and how can you flush it out ## Hello, Jo! How are you? I'm very sorry about the hives. That would actually be considered an allergic reaction, rather than a side effect. Other symptoms, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include dizziness, swelling and trouble breathing. Only time will flush it out. Have you informed your doctor? You will likely need to switch to a different medication.

My blood pressure is low in morning -l09/66 in the a.m. and is 139/72 to l44/72 in p.m. I take 1/2 tab in a.m. If I take the whole amount, my pressure seems to drop too low? ## Hello, Lilah!

Which is stronger of those 2 water pills? ## Hi Rita, Imprint Z 2083 has been identified as Hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg). Imprint M35 has been identified as Chlorthalidone (25 mg). Quoted below is some information I found on government website comparing Hydrochlorothiazide and Chlorthalidone: "Thiazide diuretics are a mainstay for the treatment of hypertension. Although there are several thiazide diuretics currently available, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) continues to be the most popular thiazide used for treating high blood pressure. This is despite several clinical trials that have used and documented the benefits of chlorthalidone for hypertension management. In terms of blood pressure lowering, both HCTZ and chlorthalidone appear to be very effective. Head-to-head studies have show...

I JUST STARTED THE DRUG CHLORTHALID 25 MG. TODAY. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY INCREASE IN MY URINE OUTPUT. IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LOW DOSAGE? WOULD AN INCREASE IN THE DOSAGE HELP? ## No, you shouldn't arbitrarily increase the dosage of any medication on your own, it isn't safe to do so. And though this is a diuretic and will have a small immediate effect, like any medication, it will take awhile to reach its full effect in your body, so one day isn't really enough to judge its efficacy on. Learn more Chlorthalidone details here. If it's working for you, you'll know in a few days and, if not, then please let the prescribing doctor know. What are you taking it to treat? ## WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SAID IT WAS 25 MG, AND I ONLY TAKE 1/2 OF A PILL, SO I'M TAKING 12 1/2 MG. ONC...

Having a severe burning pain in my back after the first 2 weeks and flushing. ## You're experiencing these symptoms after 2 weeks of taking the Chlorthalidone?

Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that's used to help remove excess fluid from the body, usually to help treat high blood pressure. And the symptoms you're describing usually occur when someone is getting too dehydrated from taking it. Are you making sure to take in at least 64ounces of water daily?
