I will be transitioning to propanolol 20 mg (and hydrochlorothiazide) twice daily soon - my doctor wants me to transition by taking propanolol - 1/2 of 20 mg twice a day for one week and then the full 20 mg twice daily.

Avatar n tn I suppose I could take allopurinol to get my uric acid level below 6 but not sure of the value given the potential side effects. High uric acid is associated with development of heart and kidney problems - so it may be good to have a good diet. I try on that score with more veggies and fruit- and to drink a lot of fluids - but colchicine has allowed me to eat a burger or have clam chowder without fear of an attack. I suggest anyone out there to try the little pill and water every night.
Avatar n tn Ice may be applied for 20 to 30 minutes several times a day, and a randomized controlled trial found that patients who used ice packs had better relief of pain without side effects.[17] Since gout is caused by crystals, it has been suggested that keeping very well hydrated and heating the affected joint in hot water (rather than cooling with ice) will promote the dissolution and clearance of the urate crytals.[18] Keeping the affected area elevated above the level of the heart also may help.

Avatar f tn Haven't started the new medication yet. I read the info sheet and it said "this medication may cause vision loss or other unwanted side effects" although most of the common vision problems and eye pain may be temporary and would be reversed if stopping the medication was what I was told. Further research says HCTZ may be associated with severe eye conditions that may lead to permanent impairment such as glaucoma etc, although I don't know how common that is.
Avatar m tn I am not sure these two studies are enough to unleash this med upon the public, especially with the side effects occuring in 25 percent of those taking it. I just worry because we seem to be getting these drugs that do great harm and then after hurting people end up being recalled. That does not sound like much of a study.
Avatar f tn Now previously, in the past I had once been put on Furosemide. I had a bad reaction to it. I had some of the side effects listed under dangerous side effects and had to stop taking it. So I reminded my doctor of that and he put me on Hydrochlorothiazide. I took this for one day and was extremely sick the whole day. I started with some dizziness, and headache, then went to cramps which turned into very bad cramps.
