Avatar m tn IS THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TAKING COMBINATION OF TELMISARTAN &AMLODIPINE FOR LONG TIME
Avatar m tn I am 33 year male having hypertension from 3 years taking telmisartan 40 mg from last two years.Now my bp is under control comes under 130/85. I had urine albumin excretion test three times result shows between 100 to 75 mg/dl albumin excretion ( 24 hour urine albumin test on submission of around 1.5 liter urine).The normal values shows in lab report is up to excretion of 150 mg/dl/ .My serum creatinine level comes between 0.8 to 1.0 and urea under 20.
Avatar n tn Your creatinine is still high because you likely have chronic kidney disease from the hypertension. The Telmisartan-HCTZ that was given will not make your creatinine low, it is to treat your hypertension and prevent further damage to your kidneys. It is also possible you have some protein in your urine which the Telmisartan helps to reduce. Also, Telmisartan can cause a slight increase in your creatinine but it is usually not a very significant increase.

Avatar n tn The huge majority of patients thus far have shown healed aortas with drastically reduced incidences of dissection, decrease in aortic root size, stability in aortic root size, increased aortic flexibility, etc. (By the way, although losartan is currently being researched in Johns Hopkins clinical trials, other ARBs such as telmisartan are probably most effective given their increased lipid solubility and thus increased tissue penetration.) I strongly encourage you to visit www.marfanlife.
Avatar m tn My BP stays around 170/100. Highest was recorded 176/110. I have been on Telmisartan 40mg for few weeks but it killed my sex drive entirely. I stopped taking it & gradually recovered from low libido. Also i've noticed a general decline in libido & an onset of ED after i crossed age 40. Now my libido is not that strong as it used to be 4 years back even without medicine.
Avatar f tn I do not know this for a fact, but I know that the clinical trials Dr. Dietz is conducting with losartan take patients with Marfan Syndrome who are far younger than your son. So, I'd imagine it would be OK for your son to use. This drug - and other ARBs - have shown great success in halting and reversing aortic root enlargement WHEN and ONLY WHEN TAKEN IN SUFFICIENT DOSAGES.
Avatar m tn Also, she is patient of high blood pressure. She is on bloog sugar medications like Metformin, Glimipride and Telmisartan, Amlodipine tablets for high bp Daily. Now, she has many complications of Diabetes including Diabetes Neuropathy, eyes issues like cataracts, osteoarthritis etc. she also has complications in her back/spine. Now, her doctor has not recommend any special multivitamin apart from diabetic die,t.
336017 tn?1263579257 the best ARB to take is probably telmisartan because of its high tissue penetration. The best ACE inhibitor to take is perindopril. Some other ARBs and ACE inhibitors may work less effectively or not at all (some ARBs I know to be good - besides telmisartan - are valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan. Most of them are good EXCEPT for losartan, which is a surmountable antagonist and, theoretically, would lose its effect over time). Next fact: you need to take a high dose.
Avatar f tn You take metoprolol, diltiazem, enalapril and telmisartan. The first two agents address primarily heart rate (HR) but are not great blood pressure (BP) drugs. Speaking of HR, what is the reason that you see an electrophysiologist? Atrial fibrillation? and are you feeling poorly when your heart rate is 40s?
700212 tn?1240760820 How do I find out about trials?...will my doc tell me and ask if thats something I'm interested in them or do I have to find them for myself?...Im just wonderinf...
184420 tn?1326739808 i was on a trial for virimadine so i was treated with that and interfuron... would i be eligible for any of the new trials for non-responders ? im guessing no because i have absolutely no results from this trial they told me NOTHING except after 6 months it wasnt working and they stoped it... i could try and get on a new trial for treatment naive and i guess i could just lie and say i never treated...
579125 tn?1251576265 I was wondering if anyone knows of... or could direct me in how to find trials for non-responders in the southern California area.
980756 tn?1313445908 I was in the last boceprevir trial. Like epiphiny says, it is to get a baseline and suitability. It's all pretty standard in trials and would be a good idea for most people starting TX, too. To be honest interferon can cause bizarre problems like lung damage, heart palpitations, etc. Not too common, but it happens.
980756 tn?1313445908 was screened for 3 trials and excluded at thge last second [it seemed] because of my early cirrhosis ... on 3rd week of BI 201335 trial..so hang in there......patience is a virtue..
Avatar f tn t be included in the trial. So to answer your question, there are very strict guidelines relative to clinical trials. As Bill said, go to the website and read some of the trials.
Avatar m tn Are there any new trials other than interferon or ribaviron, I've relasp twice and there nothing else my Doc says he can do.
Avatar m tn I ended up on a prescription of 40mg of Telmisartan and 2.5mg of Nebivolol daily, and a diuretic which was cancelled by my Doctor. The Telmisartan was pared back to 20mg some time later after my readings were getting too low. My BP is around the ideal 120/80 mark and my resting pulse is normally around 50 but sometimes gets as low as 45.
Avatar m tn I am hypertensive for the last 2-3 years and had a BP of 150/100. The doctor has now put me on Telmisartan 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg (it is one tablet per day) for 2 weeks. My BP has now reduced to 140/80. I was asked to take a 2D echo and a tread mill test yesterday and here are the findings : 1. 2-D Echo findings - Mild LVH. LVID-d : 3.92mm, LVID-s : 2.06 mm, LVPW-d : 1.22 mm, LVPW-s:1.64 mm, IVS-s : 1.11 mm, IVS-d : 1.27 mm, EF-70%. Normal LV Systolic function (EF 70%).
Avatar f tn Bp was still not getting controlled and i was started on telmisartan and also amlodepin along with the metoprolol. The bp was then controlled well for about 3 months, however the anxiety continued. Since the last week my bp is also increasing to 140/90 along with the anxiety and also i am experiencing what i think is hot flashes. Can you please explain the connection between these symptoms and their relation to menop[ause. What can a person do about the same .
Avatar n tn My doctor put me on a medicine called Micardis HCT which is a combination medication with the common diuretic hydrochlorothiazide and the drug telmisartan. This is the first time I have been on blood pressure medicine, and the drug has worked very well in terms of my blood pressure itself. I take my pressure at home with an electric blood pressure monitor and I now average about 130 over 72 to 75.
8924846 tn?1410572901 Since its a school they ask patients who qualify to volenteer for drug trials when they are avalible. I was asked to take part in one that is for a nausea medication. So basically when i go in for my c section they will admister the medication or placebo when i get the spinal/epidural before the surgery. I would really like to take part and volenteer but at the same time id rather not be puking while they are cutting me open....
Avatar f tn hi -- a few weeks ago there was a guy who posted here looking for user-friendly clinical trials sites. He was getting medical help outside of the U.S. I can't find his post....so thought I'd write a new one hoping he'll find this. I found this site today and thought of him. http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/pns/patemail.
