Common Questions and Answers about Side effects of norvasc in cats
norvasc
In the fall of 2008 I was hospitalized for HBP and prescribed amlodipine. After a few years I added benazapryl. This past week (March 2013) my anxiety/panic disorder reached a new high and have been off work and resting for about a week now. I have not started the prescribed Cymbalta yet, decided to do some research.
I have started taking Norvasc for Hypertension and am having side effects such as nausea, headache, and it seems to be causing some eye pain and pressure. My concern is that I had retinal detachment surgery in March of 2008 and have not had any pain until I started taking Norvasc 5mg. daily. Is this a side effect that is normal and will it subside or is it a reason to discontinue this drug?
I believe you can continue to take your Ativan as it is in a different class of drugs from your other meds. BUT.................I am NOT a doctor nor a pharmacist and I will tell you right now that you MUST check this out with someome with real knowledge of the interactions of medications. And that is NOT me!
Zoloft, an antidepressant, normally reaches steady state in about a week and in my humble opinion, you should not still be feeling "really anxious and nervous.
Of course you can stop Femara if the side effects become too much to deal with. I have stopped Arimidex after three days, Femara after 28 days, and now Aromasin (?) after only three days as well. (And I did not take this lightly, believe me!) But you have to try something before you can make a decision the stop?
I am 32 yr old female who has been taking a diuretic since I was 20 for HBP. Now I am also on norvasc which isn't working and is causing angina. The doctor has tried me on several meds with little to no results or severe side effects that made not able to take a cpl of them. I've only had a CMP and CBC done for tests. I've been to him every month for the past year now and he just switches me to a new med without testing anything.
Had a large tumor and total thyroidectomy removed 3 weeks ago. The past few days having dull but strong headaches that go into my ear, down my jaw into my neck. I'm taking 100 mcg of Levothyroxine a day and 2 Calcitrol a day. My calcium was very low after surgery.
They may claim to do the same things, however the standards in manufacturing the medications are not the same from laboratory to laboratory and there is no way to know if you are getting exactly the same dose of medication in the Lotrel as you did in the Norvasc since they are manufactured by two different manufacturers.
The very same issue is seen with Synthroid and Levothyroxine. In fact, my sister was told by an endocrinologist at Mayo, "Never use Levothryoxine.
His pupils were fixed and dilated, his gait was extremely wobbly and he seemed to navigate in bursts of energy. I discontinued the med and the head posture returned to normal over three days. Gait took a day or so longer and pupils started to react after five days but remain sluggish. Drug induced myasthenia gravis is described rarely in the literature. My very experienced vet says he has never seen it. Has anyone else?
Hi Nick,
In short, anything is possible and many meds mixing together certainly make it harder to know what is doing what.
Norvasc appears to be for blood pressure normally and a list of drug interactions can be found here : http://www.rxlist.com/norvasc-drug.htm.
I claim no knowledge except of what site to look at for this info. Much of it I wouldn't follow either but it will hopefully mean something to you.
I don't know if these are symptoms of a condition or side effects of some of my meds, so can someone help?
I take Norvasc, Altace, Lexapro, Crestor, AndroGel, Doxycycline Hyclate, and Advair 250/50. I have been on the first 4 for years. The last 3 have been added within the last several months. I also have Severe Sleep Apnea, but I use my APAP religiously. AHI is usually <4, but will on ocassion sneak up to 5.
I assume the diagnosis of hyperreactive responses not only to the constrictor effects of acetylcholine, but also the dilator effects of nitroglycerin were detected diffusely in the epicardial coronary arteries of patients with coronary spastic angina.
The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains.
All looked clear and the stents were in place. Now is is experiencing additional spasms and has been admitted to the ER of our hospital. Even our cardiologist is not clear what the next steps should be. All they say is the the condition is rare. They have given him morphine for the pain. Nitrogyclerine does not seem to help. Does anyone have any insight into a solution?
As you know Atenolol is not used anymore as a first-line anti-hypertensive. Lisonopril and Losarten are far more effective with fewer side effects. A BP of 101/60 is to low. Much too low. I would have your physician contact the manufacturer of the drug Atenolol (and the U.S. FDA) for suggestions. In the case of the FDA a specific individual is assigned jurisdiction over a specific drug. Both the FDA and the manufacturer will respond to questions posed by a medical professional.
