felodipine degradation

However, since the accidental discovery of an interaction between the calcium channel blocker, felodipine, with grapefruit juice,1 it has now become evident that grapefruit juice has the potential to alter the plasma concentrations of many medications when they are taken by mouth. In some cases, this may result in undesirable clinical effects of medications.

Went to ER with severe vertigo that wouldn't stop. They did a CT scan of head/brain w/o contrast. Part of the findings state "Artifact degradation of the pons is noted. The gray white differentiation appears symmetric with artifact degradation through the posterior fossa and near the skull base.

hello 5 weeks ago i woke up to find my left eye had what i can only describe has a frosty shadow over it i left it for two weeks thinking it was just floaters no change so went to the doctors who gave me a blood pressure test found it was high and put me on felodipine prolonged release tablets 2.

Degradation of viral DNA in the cell nucleus opens new Hepatitis B treatment possibilities Scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technische Universität München have discovered how the viral DNA of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be degraded in the cell nucleus of liver cells, consequently allowing the virus to be eliminated. Viruses such as HBV can persist by depositing their genetic information (DNA) in the cell nucleus, where the DNA is normally not degraded.

hey, my grandfather has been recently diagnosed with dementia (although not a finite diagnosis). but his memory degradation is not consistent, during the day his memory and behavior is fine (although not as great as it used to be), but in the evening his memory and behavior gets alot worse. i wanted to ask if someone in this forum has any new diagnosis or can explain why its like that. thanks in advance.

As fas as I know, nexium (esomeprazole) only interferes with biaxin (clarithromycin). It heightens the amount of esomeprazole by inhibiting the degradation of esomeprazole. Macrobid is nitrofurantoin, not clarithromycin. You may also look here: http://www.ehealthme.com/drug_interactions_side_effects/Nexium-2792078.

In June '08 I was sitting watching TV when my left side from my head down to my leg became stiff and numb. Went to the ER and checked by 5 neuronogists, had scans, MRI & other tests. Their consensus was a brain event in the rt. thalemus. For 2 & 1/2 yrs I was living with a 5 out of 10 sensation but last Dec. '10 as I was having dinner, the sensation became worse like an 8 out of 10 and I'm having increased trouble moving my whole left side.

Hello, Histamine intolerance results from a disequilibrium of accumulated histamine and the capacity for histamine degradation. Symptoms can be reduced by a histamine-free diet or be eliminated by antihistamines. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

I've been on it and it is addictive. Not as addictive as oxycontin, but addictive nevertheless. It causes a degradation in thought processes. Sort of "brain-fog. In and of itself it isn't very good as a pain reliever.

Coadministration with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitors, boceprevir and telaprevir, may increase the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of calcium channel blockers, especially the dihydropyridines (e.g., amlodipine, felodipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, nisoldipine). The mechanism involves inhibition of intestinal and hepatic CYP450 3A4, the isoenzyme primarily responsible for the metabolic clearance of most calcium channel blockers.

I am active, never sick but use eyedrops for Glaucoma, very slightly elevated blood pressure for which I take a mild 5 mg. Felodipine tab and vytorin for slightly elevated cholestrol. My chol. ratio with meds is 2.3. The last week I have had a great slowing of my pulse. For three days it didn't get over 42 and on one day if got down as low as 37 and then 38 and stayed there all day. My blood pressure has been about the same as it always is....

This is a follow up on one of my previous thread... I met again with my hepatologist today and went over the different options available. So instead of treating right away I am going to do a new liver biopsy in early 2009 (the previous one was 3 1/2 years ago). That way I'll know how much time I can afford to wait.

Should I try another antibiotic to battle the sinusitis (eg Amoxycillin/Clavulanate 875/125mg) ? Could the sinus infection be causing a problem in the root of a perfectly good tooth? Will a CT scan help? Any other info you can suggest would be appreciated. PS.. I am in Brazil and having some trouble trusting the medical system here.

I am not sure what you are looking for exactly, but there are some current studies out on low dose interferon only used as maintenance to defer the degradation of the liver. These trial results reflect that it is not helpful.

As you may know way back when the original practice was to attach EKG leads to the wrists and ankles. Modesty was an issue. You have two problems. Degradation of signal and artifact. With a 12 lead there will be some diminishment of signal. It is a better idea to place the electrodes under the breasts, even though that involves a bit of privacy invasion. This is ocasionally a problem with paramedics, who don't use a 12 lead. An ST depression will usually show up in either case.

I live in Hong Kong, have cataract and have been trying to choose between multifocal IOLs and Crystalens HD. I tend to prefer Crystalens because of its advantages in reading computer screens and less halos, while realizing its shortcomings in near vision (40cm and under). As Crystalens HD is still kind of under a trial peroid in Hong Kong, it may be more convenient for me to have surgery in Singapore which has passed the trial stage.

All pulmonary tests show no real change, except for SNIFF which shows a degradation. Phrenic nerve conduction tests also show a worsening. Cannot find a root cause for any of this, and my Drs. don't have any ideas about a tie with right shoulder pain. I have had every test imaginable, and have been on a BiPAP machine to allow me to sleep lying down. Any ideas ? I'm 49 yo, white male. Thanks! - Joe from upstate NY.

I know many physicians prescribe a steroid to take with lung infections. My personal opinion is that the degradation of the immune response by the prednisone always outweighs the benefits.

Hi all, your answers to my posts have been reassuring. All informed that HIV begins to die outside the body. However, I am concerned over this post "While the moisture content of bodily fluids would slow down the degradation of the virus outside of the human body, it's not enough to facilitate transmission outside of that 60 second window" http://www.****.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Q225229.

You are probably right. The cardio just said he would see me in a year and we will redo the echo in2 years. 3 years ago i had PH now I am under 30 no PH, I also had Mild to moderate Tricuspid regurg now it is mild. Not that I am complaining...
