My doctor just put on Metoprolol ER Succinate 25 mg is this part of the recent recall? ## Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is used to treat hypertension and some cardiac problems. As to whether or not it was part of the recall, I can't tell you anything, without knowing the manufacturer of the particular pills you have receive, since this a generic that is made by several different companies and not all were involved in the recall. However, it is doubtful that they are, since your pharmacy would have already removed anything that met the criteria of the recall from their shelves and returned them, so they are not dispensed to the public. This medication may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and headache. Learn more: Are there any other questions?

My husband currently has the flu and we are questioning if the two medications can be taken together. ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? Your husband should check with his doctor, first. From the Metoprolol, I'm assuming he either has high blood pressure or a cardiac condition and, if that is true, he may not be able to take the Nyquil, because some decongestants are contraindicated. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm takin toporol 50mg. . I have a cold, snessing, runny nose, watery eyes, what medication can I take?

When being treated for any cardiac condition, it is very important that he does so, before taking anything. Depending on his condition and the severity, he may not be able to take certain ones.

If a person is having LDL level of 112, does he need to take aztor to reduce the chlostrol ## For healthy individuals the desirable LDL level is less than 100, for those considered at high risk of cardiac problems, the ideal level is considered 70 or less, so yes, the doctor will normally want anyone with a level over 100 to use a medication and dietary options to lower it. Astor contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin, these medications are very commonly used to help lower cholesterol. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and joint/muscle aches. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments?

I'm sixty five have been on Metoprolol tart 25 mg Myl twice a day ,every now and then I get light headed and feel unblanced. ## Welcome to our forums and you've come to the right place, because I had quite a few adventures with that medication myself! Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. As to the occasional dizziness, yes, it can cause this as a side effect, which is more than likely due to orthostatic hypotension. Is it happening when you move suddenly? If so, then this is probably the cause, it has been known to cause this in some people. If it's putting you in danger of falling or anything, then you should contact your doctor, as you may need to switch to a different medication. Another factor that co...

I took Metoprolol tartrate tabs 50 mg,mfg by greenstone, is this the same drug? ## The 25mg would be a lower dosage and the ER designates the 25mg one as being a time released formulation. Metoprolol is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions, Did your doctor make this change in the dosing and formulation? Such changes shouldn't be made, without your doctor's approval, because sudden changes to the dosing of this medication may cause rebound effects, which could include elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

How long will the drug be in my system? ## Hello, James! How are you? The FDA classifies Amlodipine as a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increase urination and hypotension. However, if you are taking it to treat one of these serious health conditions, I strongly urge you not to stop taking it, without speaking to your doctor to replace it with something else. I understand that side effects can be problematic, but letting your condition get out of control could put you at risk of heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. Any of which risks being fatal. What types of problems are you having with it and how long have you been tak...

Can I cut a 40 mg tablet of lisinopril in half in order to take two 20 mg instead? ## It is safe to do this with any medication that is not time released. Is there some reason, however, that you need to take a lower dosage? Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that is used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiac conditions. If you have one of these conditions, it is very important that you take the proper dosage to keep them under control, so you shouldn't make any medication dosage adjustments, without checking with your doctor. In addition, if you have been taking 40mgs and suddenly lower the dosage to 20mgs, you need to be aware that there will be rebound effects, which can include elevated blood pressure and elevated heart rate. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I ...

Though, you should double check with your doctor to be sure. This medication is classified by the FDA as being a beta blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

Dear Pres. Info.: My husband was prescribed Losartan 25mg yesterday. However, there were 2 different looking tablets in the bottles. Thanks to your web site, I was able to identify the white round one with 572 is in fact Losartan 25mg. The other one is "light green colored, oblong shaped" and the number '7364' on one side & the number "93" on the other side. Is this really Losartan 25 mg also??? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance to identify this drug. Most sincerely, Emily ## Hi Emily! Yes, the tablet with the 93 7364 also contains 25mgs of Losartan, which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions.

When does it start to release the meds? ## Hi, Bill! How are you doing? It will start to release some within a very short time of swallowing it. What are you expecting from it? This is a beta blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, so you aren't going to experience a radical change immediately. It takes time for these types of medications to reach their full level of efficacy in your body to do their job. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and hair loss.
