Difference between Enalapril and Lisinopril in clinical applications? How often is each drug administrated and which one is more effective?
My husband is 55 years old and was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy 5 years ago (may have been alcoholic cardiomyopathy?) -- he has been on coreg and lisinopril for 5 years with very few side effects -- his cardiomyopathy has resoved and his heart is "healthy" back to normal size and function. He decided to stop taking his coreg and lisinopril last week. He is weaning himself down. I think he is crazy for doing this -- especially without telling the doctor .
I have been on Enalapril 5mg twice a day for over a year now... and since March 2011 I have been experiencing skipped beats as well and have been experiencing a lot of chest discomfort and pain.. I have been to the cardiologist several times for this and everything has checked out all right.. I am planning on seeing my doctor sometime within the next couple of weeks to see if he can figure out what is going on...
Metoprolol can be used to improve ejection fraction. Other medications such as digoxin or ACE inhibitors (Lisinopril, Enalapril, etc) are also commonly used. It's best to discuss the specifics for your condition with your cardiologist to determine if there's a better medication for you.
Well, I talked to my gp about my condition, and said I was thinking it might be Labetalol, as I was doing great on Lisinopril last year. She said to get off this and start taking Enalapril 10mg, instead of labetalol 100mg 2x a day. And also, this week at the dr, my pulse was 68, which she said was much lower than normal for me, and thought it was the bp issues. I have only been on enalapril for a couple of days now, but have been very short of breath.
I have been taking 40 mg lisinopril for 3 months. It works on my BP but I am coughing and my nose is running.
Two years ago I had a Retriever that had Lymphoma Cancer. Near the end of her life, the Vet put her on larger doses of Prednisone as well as put her on Enalapril to control heaving "heaving" episodes she had every time she got up from laying down, etc. These worked for a while but she eventually had to be Euthanized due to the severity of her Cancer and how far it spread.
My other dog is now ill.
His cardiologist sent his echo to the board of surgeons who thought it would be best to do a repair of this valve but then decided to put him on enalapril for 6 month and then do another echo to see if the enalapril is helping. Is it likely that these changes will continue to increase or will the enalapril keep his heart functioning well enough that he will not need surgery?
Looking for good new...found out I am pregnant and am taking Lisinopril 10mg. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Until late August my BP was generally140/75 but since then it is higher and despite 2 months of titration ( enalapril in several dosages) and adding 2mg Cardura to twice daily enalapril and 50 mg Toprol XL, it just fluctuates wildly during the day, and day to day, seemingly without regard to enalapril dosages being doubled, tripled, quadrupled or reduced.
Hi My son is 9 years old and we saw the cardiologist in April 2010 for a 6 month follow-up. He was on Enalapril 2.5 mg bid but was taken off of it after complaining of symptoms of shortness of breath, and dizziness and his B/P was stable. This is his height 142 cm and weight 36 kg HR 70 and B/P 90/52. RVDd 1.1cm, IVSd 0.88 cm, IVSs 1.2 cm, LVPWs 1.2 cm, Ao root Diam 2.4 cm, LVIDd 5.1 cm, LVIDs 3.5 cm, LVPWd 0.91 cm,LA dimensions 2.9cm, asc Aorta 3.1cm.
20 mg in 7 am , and 20 mg Lisinopril in 7 pm (so total = 40 mg Lisinopril per day). During the day (systolic) hypertension goes 150-160 mmHg and only in 2-4pm it is 130 mmHg (and at 10-12 pm). What should be done for this patient. Maybe trying a diuretic (hydrochlorthiazid) and lowering the dose of Lisinopril? Please tell what do you think of the doses to start trying, how often and when during the day? (P.S.
Lisinopril and Metoprolol when I left the hospital, now Lisinopril and carvedilol (coreg). seems like a relatively common combination.
Hello,
I have a 12 year old male himilayan that was diagnosed with hcm in February of 07. He is on enalapril every day. The vet is suggesting I have a follow up ultrasound done on his heart. I have absolutely no problem spending the money, but will this test show them anything that may cure him. Are there better treatments than the enalapril? I am so afraid of what they may find.
They also thing he is beginning to have hyperthyroidism.
Thank you for any advice.
On the 30 day follow up from hospitalization and another echocardiobram I was told my heart function was up to 30%. My lisinopril went from 10 to 20 mg. On my 30 day follow-up office visit from the following cardiocatherization I was told my heart was functioning at 25% even though I was feeling better than before I had the cardiac event in December. Even though I was feeling better the doctor increased my lisinopril to 40mg. I don't get it.
s picked about 7 hours after taking Lisinopril and was really bad at about 12 hours after taking Lisinopril. I experienced about 3100 PVC's during this 24 hr holter report of which approximately 1600 of them came in this 5 hour period between the 7 hour and 12 hour mark post Lisinopril. I do have about 20-80 PVC's per hour during the rest of the day. any thoughts???
I take Coreg(Carvedilol) and Lisinopril. I still want children very badly and was told that basically, there were meds that I can take instead of Lisinopril, but I would have to stop taking Coreg. Of course, I would just have to see how I would do without Coreg... Are there any alternatives to Coreg?
