When To Take Lisinopril Hctz 20 12 5

Hello, a few days ago I went to the ER because my BP was extremely high, 208/110. I believe this because I have gained about 30 lbs and have not been eating very healthy lately. I am 39 years old and I was not currently on any blood pressure medication but I have been in the past. I was off about a year. The ER was able to get my BP down and the Dr. gave me a prescription for Lisinopril HCTz 20/12.5 I have been on this in the past but a lower dosage. I have only been on this meds for 2 days and it does lower my BP but it is too low. This morning it was 108/77. I feel very weak with no energy, sleepy, and somewhat depressed. I am worried it is lowering my blood pressure too much and I'm scared I will have hypotension. Can I stop taking this med since it's only been a couple of da...

I enjoy a drink nightly. Will this prevent the pill from doing its job with my blood pressure? (mixed drinks or amaretto). ## Generally, you are warned not to take most medications with alcohol due to the possibility of it aggravating the side effects, such as the nausea and dizziness, because that can result in one drink actually affecting you like you had 2 and so on. Learn more Prinzide details here. With this combination, however, there are some additional concerns, if you are limiting yourself to just one or two drinks, it can actually cause some lowering of your blood pressure, as well, so you have to be careful to watch for signs of that, such as feeling severely dizzy, especially when moving or standing up. The Hydrochlorothiazide is also a diuretic that removes excess fluid fro...

I had been taking 2 tablets of Lisinopril 20 + 12.5 mg HCTZ for almost 20 years. I'm now 60 years old and since my BP is under control, I asked my doctor to take me off the HCTZ. It's been only a week now and I have noticed swelling in my feet and ankles along with a reddish rash. I previously had no side effects from the HCTZ other than dry mouth and skin and frequent urination. Does anyone know if gradually decreasing the amount of HCTZ rather than just stopping abruptly would be a better alternative or if I'm just destined to take HCTZ for the rest of my life? ## Your doctor just had you stop this medication abruptly? If so, then yes, that's likely what's causing the problem, because it has been known to cause rebound effects, especially if you were taking it for ...

Can I take Rumoquin-N.F. & Lisinop/HCTZ Tab 20-12.5 together at the same time? ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions that apply to Rumoquin N.F. (dexamethasone + methocarbamol + phenylbutazone) & Lisinopril. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Dexamethasone may reduce the effects of lisinopril in lowering blood pressure. The interaction is most likely to occur when dexamethasone is used for more than a week, since prolonged use can cause sodium and water retention. Let your doctor know if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain or swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications." "Lisinopril and methocarbamol may ...

I have been placed on this medication for the treatment of high blood pressure, I'm OK with it, and I accept why I have to take it, but what I do not understand is why have I begun to sweat more?

Question? My doctor prescribed Bisopr/hctz tab 10/6.25 and Lisinopril 20 mg. The directions are to take 1 tablet twice a day. Does this mean take one pill in the a.m. and one in p.m? ## it generally mean that yes. usually 12 hours apart or around a bout. ## Basically, if the prescription does not specifically say to take it every 12 hours, then you should take it when you wake up, or with breakfast and then take the next dose at dinner time.

What is the marking on the pill, my Dr prescribed this medication to me, this first pill I received was a blue round with WATSON 861 on it.

But when I got my prescription it was a smaller round yellow pill with B02on it and the other side LL. is this the same medicine? ## The new tablet you received with the B02 LL marking contains the same medication in the same dosage, it has just been manufactured by a different company.

It is common for a pharmacy to switch which one they carry of the generic medications, depending on whichever company was offering the cheapest price, at the time they needed to restock. I...

How many hours apart do I separate these meds. and what is the best and less confusing way to take these pills. Together or Separated? ## There is no need to separate them, as a matter of fact, most doctors will tell you not to, in order to try to help you remember to take them all and not miss any doses.
