382218 tn?1341181487 An easy drive from New Castle / Christiana is the Brandywine River Museum... if you like Andrew Wyeth or any of the Wyeth family art, it is an absolute must see. The area is generally considered the home to Andrew Wyeth and there are even tours where you can see much of the landscape and even buildings (like Kuerners farm) that he painted. And the museum itself is like going to a retreat to relax, its one of my favorite places in PA (but I also have half a dozen Wyeth prints in my home).
Avatar f tn Why is my systolic blood pressure still high when I am taking Altace. My diastolic blood pressure is normal when I take Altace. Why the difference. Could I have angina since I have had pain in my chest around the heart area and in the middle of the chest. Also, could I have arterialschlorsis from the high systolic blood pressure? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/252636'>high systolic normal diastolic blood pressure?</a>.

By the mid-1990s, when Wyeth got caught in a patent battle over Premarin, Lindsay was a staunch Wyeth ally. He came out against approval of a generic version of the drug that would have cut into sales even though the generic form would have made it easier for osteoporosis patients to receive therapy.
Avatar m tn Never had a heart attack. The Cardio put me on Metoprolol ( 50mg); Altace 2.5 mg and baby aspirin in addition to Lipitor 20mg. Sep. 2009 he took me off the Metoprolol and increased the Altace to 10 mg. My Blood potassium level at the time was perfectly normal at 3.6; after the spike in the ace-inhibitor my potassium level has risen in two months to 5.6, which I believe is an unsafe level. My family doctor has now asked me to go back to the 2.5 mg dosage and get re-tested after two weeks.
Avatar f tn Pretty disgusting, if you ask me. You can read all about it on the ASPCA sight. They were instrumental in getting some of the Wyeth (the makers) suppliers shut down. Wyeth was actually sued.
Avatar f tn Have you checked in with your eye MD?
Avatar f tn Well now I know better, and I am willing to join a class action suit against Wyeth for this horrible, supposedly non-addictive drug, coming off it is worse than heroin! Anyone interested? How do we get started?
Avatar n tn How much Tylenol were you taking? Were you abusing it?
Avatar f tn I take Toprol XL 200 mgs. and Altace 20mgs. and have for many years however recently I have experienced an increase in blood pressure. I have lost some weight and continue to diet as well as exercise. My doctor has tried two calcium channel blockers with the results that I become very ill and unable to continue these medications. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn You may want to contact the pharmaceutical company that makes Inderal and inquire if they offer such a program. I believe that Inderal is made by Wyeth and I believe that Wyeth is owned by Pfizer. I am including a link to the Wyeth Patient Assistance Program Website, on the website there is a 1-800 number that you can call to find out if Inderal is one of the medications that is included in the program: http://www.wyeth.com/contact?
Avatar f tn 5 mg and Altace 10 mg.) 5 hours before having an Endoscopy? Would the pressure go to low with the anesthesia or go to high without the hypertension medications?
238417 tn?1203707410 It was Wyeth HCV 796 a polymerase inhibitor. 20 weeks into the study 2 participants had high liver enzymes (800-900) so they stopped the study. This was a phase 2 and about 200 people were in the study. The 2 participants enzymes returned to "normal". Wyeth has given no indication if it was the result of the drug or a fluke.
15695260 tn?1549593113 Common medications in this class of drugs are commonly used medications such as captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil or Zestril), perindopril (Aceon), ramipril (Altace) and trandolapril (Mavik). It should be noted that this research was not done as a clinical trial but rather an 'observational study' where older adults with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia were being studied. About a quarter were on ACE inhibitors and they observed this benefit.
Avatar f tn I was on Altace and had problems. Then they put me on the Lopressor (metoprolol) along with the Altace. The altace lower my blood pressure too much, so I stick with the beta blocker and leave out the ace inhibitor. That works for me. But man oh man, I cannot run out of the beta blocker without servious side effects. Maybe in this case using both would help more.
Avatar m tn well a pulse of 48-50 does sound like bradycardia,but maybe it was just intermittent?i got my ablation a week ago and i am getting the odd thumping sensation ,i think palps are normal for a while after the procedure but not sure about the pulse rate.........
Avatar m tn It has been working for me without questions. I am on Cholesterol meds and hypertension meds(Metoprolol, Altace and Norvasc) which I have been taking for the last two years. Recently I used some viagra two hours before an encounter with my date. I started drinking after the taking the Viagra. The viagra did not work....I took another one and waited awhile and it still didn't work...I took one more and waited a while with no results....
Avatar n tn That myth has now been disproved, in fact when you take the pill with a 7 day break it is not really a period but withdrawal bleeding. In the USA it goes by names such as Lybrel (made by Wyeth). If you are outside the USA then you can Google it to find what name it might go by in your country. This type of regime is commonly used to circumvent headaches.migraines, and other period based problems in women, as it stops hormonal fluctuations from occurring. I hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I lost my insurance for a couple of years and my doctor found out that Wyeth labs (the makers of Effexor) has a program to help people who don't have insurance. I got my meds for free for about 2 years until I got insurance again. Ask around. You may not have to go without.
Avatar m tn I have had 3 heart attacks and 3 stents in RCA. I continued to have angina. I had alot of episodes that would wake me out of a dead sleep. I was put on Norvasc (calcium channel blocker) in additon to Lopressor and Altace. Haven't had any spasms lately. Hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn I take it that even though the anesthesia will help to relax a patient during such a procedure, I wondered is it still okay for a patient to take their hypertension medication (such as IC Cartia 360 mg, Atenonlol 12.5 mg and Altace 10 mg.)? Would the pressure go to low with the anesthesia or go to high without the hypertension medications?
Avatar m tn Hi: I used to be on flecinade for 3-4 years and it worked great - basically it was akin to nitro - when I went into Afib it would quickly help restore sinus rythm. I'm now on sotolol and altace (blood pressure) which seems to help keep my heart rate down but it feels like a war as my heart wants to race. I'm not sure of any side effects as I have several issues but it does work to keep my heart rate below 100's and most often in the 60's - 70's.
196469 tn?1365387975 Oh, dear...I can imagine how you feel. I suppose, as Kimchi said, that there are a few kinks here and there. It's funny, too, because when I saw this thread popping back here AGAIN since in January the doctor was reporting an excerpt from a very long and detailed petition/response, etc, to the Wyeth pharm. co, (complete articles can be found on the FDA's homepage, just look for the links) that was then printed in the paper and surfaced here, and I thought..hmmm...
Avatar n tn I take Lipitor, Nexium, and Altace for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heartburn. I had femoral artery blockages 13 years ago and was a smoker. Guys, I'm not making this up, somebody please advise if you ever heard of such a thing, this is very alarming. My penis has shrunk and appears to be continuing to do so. HELP!
Avatar m tn Had multiple stents (4) placed four (4) years ago, two in LAD with no side effects and good nuclear and stress test results over this period. Am currently taking Plavix/Aspirin/Coreg/Altace. Need arthroscopic repair on knee but concerned over cessating of Plavix. One cardiologist recommended ending Plavix entirely, second (same practice) would rather wait for a large study about to be completed. Suggestions?
Avatar n tn I am on High blood pressure medicine (Altace, which some sites do list tingling and leg weakness as side effects, though my GP does not think so). My Neuro did all the blood work and that is normal (Lyme, ANA, CBC, B12, ESR, CAT Scan) He is somehow asking for a month wait to order any MRI or other test. Does this fall within the McDonald criteria for diagnosis and that is why he is waiting??? Should I be concerned with this and pursue other Neuro?
