789402 tn?1243630044 i've just started taking metolazone to improve my breathing, i can hardly walk 1/2 block without having to stop. it seems that the breathing has gotten a bit better, but i've been hit with bouts of dizziness and fatigue hits me hard. i was wondering if anyone else out there is taking it and what type of reaction you may be having, good or bad.
Avatar m tn I have a question regarding the diuretic Metolazone. As background, my father is quite elderly at 85, suffering for the last five years from congestive heart failure (CHF) following two heart attacks 10 years ago. His condition has been treated successfully to date by use of lasix diuretic.
Avatar m tn Two weeks ago, he gained water weight, and lasix did not work. The doctor prescribed Metolazone, a more powerful diuretic. This removed water, but from about 2 days after he started Metolazone, he began a downward spiral. He developed a potassium shortage, treated by a supplement. Metolazone was stopped, but he has become too weak to walk, and his thoughts are clouded. His water weight is normal.
Avatar f tn The GP contacted the heart failure Specialist who advised increasing spironolactone to 50 mg and if weight still increased he could take a metolazone every 2 nd day if necessary . Ihave worked out that if he has some salted peanuts small amount that the cramps are much reduced . But thank you both for your advice it is much appreciated.
Avatar m tn If you search 'ketoconazole' online, the first link that popped up for me is from the NIH (National Institutes of Health in DC) and the second one is from the website 'rxlist', which is pretty good imo at explaining medical/scientific/pharmaceutical stuff at a high level but not completely over my head. Rxlist seems pretty well balanced, and I usually go there when curious about some medication I'm supposed to take.
Avatar n tn -------------------Side effects of Prozac ------------------------ Reactions are classified by body system using the following definitions: frequent adverse reactions are those occurring in at least 1/100 patients; infrequent adverse reactions are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1000 patients; rare reactions are those occurring in fewer than 1/1000 patients.
Avatar m tn Nervous System Disturbances The NIH states that coma or convulsions could be a sign of Tylenol overdose. According to the RxList, such nervous system involvement is rare, except in the case of a massive overdose or if the person is also taking or has overdosed on other medications that may interfere with the nervous system. Coma can also occur during an overdose if the patient is going into liver failure.
Avatar m tn He went to the doctor last week and they increased his lasix - 160 mg twice a day. No change to the edema. He went back yesterday and they prescribed Metolazone (diuretic). He took one this morning at 7:00 am and at 10:00 am he had not noticed any increase in urination. He also went to his cardiologist yesterday who said he did have fluid around his heart (cause of the coughing) but agreed with the diuretic prescription.
Avatar f tn It can also cause fever and chills. The steriods do mask the sysptoms of chemo. rxlist has info about it.
Avatar m tn Then was given Cefuroxime, Linezolid antibiotic, corex syp and metolazone diuretics when partially conscious. He didnt eat much drank 50 ml water in last 14 hours and nothing after that. Later in the evening his oxygen was down to 70 SpO2. In 1.5 hours he was given oxygen with oxygen machine and the oxygen started to increase in a bit. In an hour heartrate started to fluctuate BP was almost NR. The patient suffered cardiac arrest few minutes later. The patient wasn't a major heart patient.
Avatar n tn Stroke might refer to a blockade in some of the brain arteries (ischemic stroke) or to a bleeding of those arteries (hemorrhagic strokes). I think that Coumadin, being an anti coagulant, may cause strokes of the second type, in particular if associated with high BP. From the RXLIST: "Potential adverse reactions to COUMADIN may include: Fatal or nonfatal hemorrhage from any tissue or organ. This is a consequence of the anticoagulant effect.
Avatar n tn 09%), 2 X daily for 3 days prior to surgery. After looking on the RXlist medication information site, it says that Xibrom should be used only 24 hours prior to cataract surgery. Any longer could cause corneal adverse events......what kind of events? I'm really nervous about surgery and am beginning to question if I want to go through with it at this time.....What are preferred anesthesias? What do you think about injections, etc......
Avatar n tn This is what I scouted out on Rxlist . com , which is a decent site. Do a little research on the web from reputable sites and you'll get a clearer picture considering your own personal health situation. ----copied from RxList's site----- General: ROXICODONE® is intended for use in patients who require oral pain therapy with an opioid agonist. As with any opi-oid analgesic, it is critical to adjust the dosing regimen individually for each patient (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Avatar m tn Benzodiazepines can very well be addicting meds, they are a schedule class III drug, the same category as Vicoden. From rxlist "Use of benzodiazepines, including lorazepam, may lead to physical and psychological dependence." So i would definitely talk with your doctor before stopping these meds, you might have to do a slow taper. Best of luck to you!
Avatar n tn You could try doing a search on the internet. rxlist might be a good place to start. They usually disclose what medications are indicated for. Did you challenge your doctor on the choice of med or mention your concerns?
1679876 tn?1304743615 I suggest to read the entry on Advert in RXLIST since it also can increase BP in addition of other issues that may be relevant to you. Is your cardiologist aware of all your medication?
1414636 tn?1288284680 A great place to look up prescription info is rxlist the website is easy to use and has all the info you need :).
697970 tn?1228074272 http://depression.emedtv.com/depression/emsam-patch.html http://www.rxlist.com/emsam-drug.htm There do seem to be a lot of risks with this one but then again a number of people say it worked well. SO why not? Just be careful OK.
Avatar f tn medicinenet, rxlist, or the NIH drug info page for more details), but best to check with your doctor.
Avatar n tn I checked FDA and found hallucinations mentioned in relationship to having Serotonin Syndrome but not anywhere else. I checked an online PDR - rxlist and found research with 3779 people with MDD with no mention of hallucinations. Drugs.com also no mention of hallucinations. I did not say it could not be Cymbalta causing hallucinations, I said the PDR didn't include hallucinations. I said I didn't have hallucinations. I have now done more research. Where is yours?
Avatar f tn http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/ketor.htm TORADOL ORAL (ketorolac tromethamine), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is indicated for the short-term (up to 5 days in adults), management of moderately severe acute pain that requires analgesia at the opioid level and only as continuation treatment following IV or IM dosing of ketorolac tromethamine, if necessary. The total combined duration of use of TORADOL ORAL and ketorolac tromethamine should not exceed 5 days.
428506 tn?1296557399 If I read correctly, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is a fluoroquinolone, in the same family as levaquin, if that's useful data. Biggest downside risk seems to be risk of tendon rupture. rxlist ******* has the usual hideous rundown of possible side effects if you're so inclined. oh, and it slows clearance of caffeine? think about calling your Lyme doc about the reaction you are having, just to be sure it makes sense to continue with cipro. Not like there aren't other abx out there.
Avatar f tn I went to that page but could not find this statement but rxlist will have it somewhere there. Pretty low incidence but possible as it is with many A/D's. Like you, I had never had a hint of bi polar in my life until, at age 48 I had a 6 week hypomanic episode. I'm sure that was due to mal treatment as the pdoc at that location virtually gave me only one drug, a psychotic for anger.
1139187 tn?1355706647 Or maybe another medication is blocking the Synthroid, making your T4 go too low? The site Rxlist says lots of common medications can interact with the levothyroxine (antacids, antidepressants, corticosteroids): "Concurrent use may reduce the efficacy of levothyroxine by binding and delaying or preventing absorption, potentially resulting in hypothyroidism.
