Avatar m tn Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of silodosin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study, administration of a single 8 mg dose of silodosin with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg) resulted in a 3.8-fold increase in silodosin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and a 3.2-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC).
Avatar n tn Beta blockers like metoprolol and ACE inhibitors like benazepril have been been shown to be of value in patients with congestive heart failure as well as for hypertension. Simvastatin is of value for patients with both diabetes and heart disease. Talk to your doctor and changes can be made to minimize the side effects.
Avatar n tn -( 3 days on valsartan and I was having horrible side effects of dizziness, rapid heart rate, general feeling of crappiness, even slight shortness of breath with the slightest exertion None of which I experienced with the benazepril. Called the dr, he told me to stop the valsartan, don't take anything for 2 days and then back on the benazepril and see him next week.
Avatar f tn Because most drugs are metabolized in the digestive system and waste by-products need to be cleared out of the system by the kidneys. Most of the by-products are toxic, so they have to be removed from the body - and the already damaged kidneys can find this work hard to perform, so some toxins end up circulating back in the bloodstream. Benazepril, thankfully, is metabolized chiefly by the liver. So this is actually a better drug than many for this type of treatment, as it spares the kidneys.
Avatar n tn June he had a stroke, they gave him clot busting meds, he had a stent put in his cariod artery, all ultra sounds of heart and neck are good, went to nuero and cardiologist in aug. My concern every am when he first gets up he takes his bp before he takes his am meds and its always high, then after meds it drops down. What causes this? The am 170/110 then 1 hour later 120/76. am meds are isosorbide 30mg plavix 75 mg zantac 150mg coreg 12.
Avatar m tn hope that keeps up her bun and creatine have only changed a tiny amount since oct so i am encouraged with that, she was having a few accidents at nite about 4 weeks ago and the vet increases the benazepril a quarter of a tablet at the evening dose it was 2.5 mg every 12 hours before that , could the extra benazepril have contributed to the vomiting ? karly was spilling a little more protien in her urine so the increase was for that .will take her back in 4 weeks for new labs .
Avatar n tn I am 75. I take 75 mg of atenolol and 40 mg of benazepril hcl every day. I had an echo stress test (speed increases every two minutes) and at 6 minutes my blood pressure starting falling so the test was stopped and the doctor said sometimes with blood pressure medicine that happens. He said my heart was fine. I had a by-pass 12 years ago. So do I have to worry?
Avatar m tn I have MSK and both of my kidneys are FULL of stones. I also always show protein in my urine! Both my uro and GP have not been really concerned, but a friend a patient pharmacist, told me I need to be on the meds you mentioned to prevent kidney damage. Both of my doctors however said the only way to really tell if the protein levels are significant is do to a 24 hour urine. So am to do one AFTER my son's wedding when I can afford it. Did your doctor have you do one?
Avatar n tn However, my doctor pulled me off metformin because it sometimes messes with ALT levels, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of how liver enzymes respond to tx. I ate so little during tx, and a lot of it was ice cream. Nevertheless, for some reason - despite all the sugar in ice cream - my A1c was better during tx than it ever was before or after. Now, a year since finishing, I'm back on metformin and my ALT and ASt are wonderfully low (21 and 26 respectively).
Avatar m tn The cardio had also given me an rx for 25 mg metroprolol 2x daily and nitrostat. (this on top of my 30mg benazepril). But my resting pulse rate is typically 47-55, so how low would the metro send it? The cardio said try it as an "experiment." He seems to be continuing to interpret my throat tightening as angina. The throat tightening is a sensation of not being able to physically get enough air across my throat.
Avatar m tn A small amount of protein showed up in my urine. And she recommended that I get an Ultrasound of my kidneys and abdomen. I didnt have the money to get it done between the last 2 visits. And she still wants it done. She kind of worried me big time that somethine may be fatally wrong with my kidneys. It may be my kidneys causing my HBP. Or is it my HBP causing protein in my urine and kidney problems??? Im worried to death now, at only 24 years old.
Avatar m tn I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
Avatar f tn We knew that there was interrater reliability issue with this test, but were shocked to learn that when the doctor reads these, he does so by visually estimating the action of the heart! My husband wants to wait for several months to see the effectiveness of the supplements. Fortunately we will be meeting soon with our GP, who is wonderful about putting everything in perspective.
Avatar n tn Is there a class action suit pending or being organized against manufactuers of ReStor IOL multifocal lenses?
Avatar f tn Thank You!!!! :) Yes, his ears were "flying" as he playfully dashed back and forth. :) That's cool! I would love to see your action shots as well.
Avatar n tn everybody is different, some can feel the difference the first day, it normally takes 4-6 weeks to be stabilized. also it depends if it's the right dose for you. if you are put on the right dose, i think you shall feel a difference within 1 week. hope this helps.
Avatar f tn a month ago i has blow job with a sex worker girl she blow my penis about 20s and I left my sperm into her mouth. Is this dangerous l shocked and on my penis is full of water and sperm after a while I got washed in this case am I dangerous ?
Avatar n tn no. This is a beta blocker and it can help prevent the blockage becoming much worse because it stops your heart from over reacting to hormones such as adrenaline. It will also help keep blood pressure down, helping to prevent inflammation/damage to the arteries which will cause the disease to worsen.
Avatar m tn t even live as usual man. Most of the time in a day, it keeps rised and only at sometimes it is at its original state. Regarding it, the organ comparitively smaller, and it s hot after unusual ejaculation. Can any one tell the reason for it?
Avatar f tn My Multi Vitamin has 18mg of iron (100%) and 6mcg of B12 (100%). I do not take a B12 supplement but just started on an Iron Supplement at the request of the neurologist. I was diagnosed with HBP and have been taking Benazepril 20mg for alittle over 1 month. Here are the previous results for comparison: 11/17/10 B12 1626 (High) (200-100) 9/30/10 Ferritin 35.
