I used to have good blood pressure relief with Atacand HCT 32 strength . The doctors now seem to prefer lisinopril. I thought they were very similar and am thinking of asking to switch back. Has Atacand fallen out of favor for some reason? ## No, it hasn't fallen out of favor, per se, but doctors do tend to prefer to prescribe the medications they are most familiar with. I've been in the ER before and had a doctor give me an attitude questioning the medications I am on, because one is Atacand and it's just not the first choice to be used, anymore.

found out Avalide has been discontined. So what is the replacement medication. Avalide 150 12.5 has worked for me for years. ## Avalide contained the active ingredients Irbesartan an ARB and Hydrochlorothiazide a diuretic. There are several others on the market in this same medication class that may also work for you. One of them is Atacand HCT, which contains Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Your doctor can also prescribe them both separately. The name brand for the Irbesartan would be Avapro and they Hydrochlorothiazide is also available by itself. What has your doctor recommended? ## My doctor recommended Benicar HCT 20mg/12.5mg tablets ## why was avalide 150-12.5 discontinued? ## been taking avalide for years and wondering why this has been removed? does anybody know? ## What dr...

Found a peach capsual tablet with C on the one side and S | 1 on the other side what is this ..... Crying out for help right now ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could locate is an oblong-shaped peach pill marked with an "A" on one side of a score line and "CS" on the other. The opposite side is blank with an additional score line as well. This particular pill is identified as Atacand HCT (candesartan 16 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg); used in the treatment of hypertension. Do you happen to have any additional information on where you found this tablet or who it was purchased from? This information could also provide more clues as to what type of drug it might be. I'm hoping that the info above can at least help to narrow down your search....
