l-arginine

Avatar f tn However, another doctor told me I should not take it because I have an autoimmune disease (Sjogren) and L-Arginine would aggravate my condition. I am not sure whom should I follow. Have anyone aware of any research related to L-Arginine and auto immune problem? Many thanks!
Avatar n tn I have been taking L-arginine, L-citrulline, along with Alpha Lipoic acid and fish oil to prevent heart disease. My doctor told me to take aspirin. I exercise 4 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. Recently I have been having frequent nosebleeds. I cut back on the dosage of aspirin but still have nose bleeds although not as often. I don't know if the combination of supplements is the cause of the nosebleeds.
Avatar m tn I take a multi vitamin as well as L-Arginine, Zinc and Saw Palmetto. I was wondering if anyone has any concrete evidence that the L-Arginine especially has any negative effects on my condition (causes/exacerbates) breakouts etc. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible. I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse.
Avatar n tn , however the year is 2014, and knowledge regarding L-Arginine (a vasodilator, that increases the interior diameter of the blood vessels, increasing body capacitance) and the safety thereof has been common knowledge for the last fifty years. That being said I think it would always be a good idea to ask your doctor about everything in your life.
Avatar f tn So if you have a problem with either high blood pressure or high cholesterol i really recommend that you try L-arginine plus at least once and see what it can do for you so check it out--bit.
1703392 tn?1307450500 I found an interesting article regarding taking taurine and l-arginine (amino acid) supplements for eliminating PVCs. If you google "taurine for pvcs" there are some interesting stories. http://george-eby-research.com/html/taurine-l-arginine-arrhythmias.pdf Anyone out there suffering from benign pvcs/pacs try this?
Avatar m tn Is there any correlation between biliary dyskinesia and L-arginine? I heard L-arginine affects the sphincter of the oddi, which is the cause to my biliary dyskinesia if I'm not mistaken. Does the L-arginine help or hurt? Or is it neutral?
Avatar m tn All the searches I have done related to this inform me of a diet high in L-Lysine and low in L-Arginine to help treat herpes, which I do not have. I am currently undergoing cryotherapy for my breakouts because the Aldera cream irritates me too much. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible (quit smoking, drinking and eating healthier).

Avatar m tn Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine?
Avatar m tn They have increased the Ranexa 500 mg to 2 x a day and I am still having angina attacks mainly left shoulder pain. I have read several articles about L-arginine being used to increase nitric oxide and that seemed to help control spasms. I am currently on Norvasc 5mg 1xdaily, Lisinopril 5mg 1x daily, metoprolol 100 mg 2 x daily Ranexa 500 mg 2x daily, magnesium 500 mg 2 x daily, garlic 1000 mg daily, evening primrose oil 1000 mg daily, simvastatin. I also have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine.
Avatar m tn & one thing that i understand from the report is: the sequential therapy facilitate the T-cell function to word the Hbsag clearance fast. Does this mean adding L-Arginine to our Nuc's helps more to facilitate to the Hbsag clearance? Thanks!

Avatar f tn I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
Avatar n tn Studies have shown that Tuarine-containing drinks affect the contractility of the heart and that taurine increases heart rate and blood pressure. To be honest I'm not sure how much credence I would give the article you refer to. I read this in the past and it seemed to me that one of the case histories the author presents is actually himself. This strikes me as a bit of a conflict of interests.
Avatar f tn Metoprolol BID, Imdur, Simvastatin, ASA, Plavix, Vitamin D, Magnesium/Calcium, Multivitamin, and 1 gm L-arginine daily. I have noticed a drastic improvement in angina since starting the L-arginine 4 months ago (1 episode in 4 months versus the usually 4-6 episodes in that same time period).
Avatar n tn L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are quite effective in restoring sexual ability in a certain universe of patients, specifically those with diabetic neuropathy. You need to take at least 2-3 grams of L-Arginine for an effect. Purchase it in quantitities at health food stores.
Avatar m tn Other than the nitro I am on 10mg of Amlodipine (for about a week) and 1,000 mg of L-Arginine (which I read is good for small vessel disease). I have not been told I am have small vessel disease, but am operating under that assumption. My chest pain has gotten worse and I am profoundly short of breath since increasing the Amlodipine from 5mg to 10mg. My Cardiologist is very disinterested in pursuing this. He has not come out and called me a liar, but treats me like I am making things up.

Avatar n tn L-Arginine is the best and it also boosts the level of Creatine which helps with weight loss, exercise, and erections and blood pressure. Most of the effective trials though were done with 3 to 7 grams daily. The higher treatment (7 on up) was associated with physical problems mainly liver. But I think some experiments were done with a daily 3 G dose and 5gram dose on days you expected sexual activity &/or 1 hour before activity alongside a yohimbe.
Avatar f tn Well, to start with, I (and a lot of others) know exactly how you feel! The somewhat good news is that you probably aren't going to die from the PVCs if you've been checked out and ruled "benign". I just completed a 9 month or so streak where I was getting 10k+ per day. I'm on Metoprolol 25mg which perhaps is similar to your dosage of Atenolol. I have the same side effects as you experience with the dizziness (esp. when standing) etc.
