Can you take Adco-dol while you are on Doxazosin 2mg for an enlarged prostate, as well as Lobrim and Allercrom, for Glaucoma? I also take Amiloride 2.5mg for high blood pressure and 1/4 Aspirin for vascular pain. Please enlighten me with any thoughts or feedback on the matter.

Oval tablet. Just found in an old purse and wondering why I have it there? ## Does this oval tab have the marking APO on the opposite side of the pill? If so, it is likely Doxazosin mesylate 2 mg (NDC 60505-0094). NOTE: the full marking would be 094 on one side and APO on the other. Doxazosin Mesylate is an alpha blocker used to treat high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia. ## I also found a white oval caplet with 094 and no markings on the other side. What is it if there is no APO? ## Probably Kirkland brand Robaxacet - acetominophen and methocarbamol ## What is an oval white pill 094 on one side and nothing on the other side?

I'm on all 3 of these for high blood pressure My side effects are rapid heart beat short of breath and constant sighing along with sleep disorder. Can anyone help ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? I'm sorry that you're having such problems. What type of sleep disorder are you having? It's hard to weigh in on the possible cause, without knowing the specifics. I am not finding sighing listed as a side effect for any of these medications, as reported by the FDA. The typical side effects for most blood pressure/cardiac medications are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination. Have you ever checked your blood pressure, when you experience the rapid heart rate and shortness of breath? Those can sometimes be symptoms that it has dropped too ...

Taking for high BP. First night VERY bad headache at 5am. Next 3 nights took half doze, now waking up with medium pain lingering headache in morning. Been taking for 5 days but headaches are showing no signs of improvement. Has anyone had a similar trend in experience and can I expect it to get better?? Am also very thirsty! ## Hello, Mart! How are you? Headaches can be a side effect of this medication, along with the thirst. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and increased urination. The side effects should taper off after about 4 to 5 weeks, as your body gets used to the medication. If they don't, or if they get worse, you should consult your doctor as this may not be the right medication for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

I found a pill in our living room it is white, oval shape and it says APO on one side and definitely says 960 on the other. What is it? ## Hello, Shay! How are you? I think the marking on this might actually be APO 096 and it contains 8mgs of Doxazosin, it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. Learn more Doxazosin details here. Can you double check the imprint for me? Thanks! :-) ## If you turn the pill around, 960 looks just like 096, and 096 is Doxazosin 8 mg (APO).

I was prescribed Doxazosin to lower my blood pressure, but it increased sharplly, so thinking the pharmacy assistants had mistakingly put the wrong pills in the bottle, I asked the pharmacist to lcheck the pills. He refused, saying that whatever the label said that was what is inside. ## This is Doxazosin 4mgs, generic for Cardura. However, there are some facts about generic drugs that most people are not aware of and this might be contributing to your problem. Generics drugs, under US a US law called the Hatch-Watchman Act, are allowed to differ in the amount of the active ingredient, from their name brand counterparts by as much as PLUS OR MINUS 20%. The FDA says this is an allowable, therapeutic difference, however, for some people it does create problems. If the previous generic you...
