what is the drug cozaar used for

Thanks for the link. The early result is encouraging. What's really great is that this drug is already approved for hypertension and is being used widely. This makes clinical trials much easier and allows for off-label use by hepatologists. Interestingly, the U.S. and Europe have given up on making recommendations for a one size fits all approach to hypertension. There is now more focus on treating hypertension while taking into consideration other comorbidities.

Genetic's doctor spoke of two beta blocking drugs for 'aorta root dilatation'. Atenalo and Cozaar. In reading about these in pill book, I already suffer from cold spots in the extremities, kidney problems at times and several of the other nasty's listed as side effects, etc. Have a hard time keeping weight on me[130 lbs -5' 5 1/2"], low body temperature [97]. Blood pressure today-108 / 60.

I think after this month, that will be 3 months on losartin(cozaar), I will see how my blood work is then add vasotec to the cozaar wait 3 months check my blood work and make a decision on dropping cozaar for vasotec. It was first published as far as I can see that losartan reduces fibrosis in 2000, that sure seems much to long a time lag between discovery and clinical use and I'm sure it is that way across medicine.

I went back to Walgreens and asked the pharmacist if there was any chance that the Apotex was inferior/impotent to the Cozaar for some reason. She assured me that could not be the case and that there could be no difference. Losartan is Losartan is Losartan. As an experiment(with GP consensus), I doubled my dose of Apotex Losartan from 50 to 100 mg a day for one week. No change in BP. I am baffled. GP does not have a clue either. I want to try going back to Cozaar. Sound reasonable?

Well, is this temporary or permanent that they can't give you the Cozaar?

Now I wonder if it is the prevacid???? I took the Cozaar the night before these labs were drawn but now have been off the meds for 1 week. BUN/CREATININE RATIO NOT APPLICABLE 6-22 BILIRUBIN, TOTAL 0.5 N 0.2-1.2 AST 12 N 10-30 ALT 6 N 6-40 ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE 70 N 33-115 ALBUMIN/GLOBULIN RATIO 1.6 N 1.0-2.1 ALBUMIN 4.4 N 3.6-5.

this is known as off labeling...where a drug is intended for one purpose but used for another....in this case insomnia......

s advocate, I want to be armed with good information before we talk to his primary. He presently is not taking the Cozaar or Plavix and I am worried.

I do take 20 Lasix every other day..............what types of tests are needed for this? Is it just a matter of finding the proper drug combination? I need to get this settled as I feel like a ticking time bomb with numbers running this high........I'm 78.....thanks for any input!

Keep in mind that not everyone can eat the same type of foods. What you can eat may not be the same for me. This is why testing is important in controlling and managing your diabetes. Cozaar for your kidneys? Cozaar is usually Rx'd for high blood pressure. Your 12% A1c triggered your doctor to check your kidney function [creatinine] as uncontrolled diabetes wreaks havoc on your renal function and cardio system.

I was weaned from Coreg by taking just my dosage at night and skipping the morning one for two weeks and then to stop. Since about a week after I cut down to once a day I started to notice a constant pounding heart. I'm now 2 days off of it totally and I've just been a but sensitive to physical activity as my heart rate will go up to about 100 bpm walking around and having a bit of shortness of breath on and off.

What thyroid medication are you taking and what dosage? Also, please post your thyroid test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report.

He asked me if I wanted another opinion about the drug and the A-fib and said yes I do. So that is where we are right now. I was really afraid to take this drug with no monitor and being alone in my home to top it off. Has anyone out there taken this drug with being monitored?? Thanks for anyone's comment or advise.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say, and it is a daunting list that they note may be incomplete. It is quite a long list, but I don't see amoxicillin on it. To be certain, I would talk to the pharmacist.

First off, you should make an appointment with a cardiologist. Primary care doctors are capable of taking care of heart failure, but I would recommend at least establishing care with a cardiologist since it is a new diagnosis. With regards to the medications: There are a few beta blockers with evidence in heart failure -- they are carvedilol, metoprolol XL, and bisoprolol (not really used in the US).

Hello! Thanks for clicking on my inquiry... here is all the info and my related questions.... 56 year old caucasian female, post-menopausal, healthy diet, inability to exercise more than mildly (so just regular activity, frequent walking, everyday tasks etc no problem, full range of motion for non-exertive stuff), obese but not morbidly, taking losartan potassium daily for mild hypertension (a decrease from quite high blood pressure 2 years ago), no other medications, stable in all respects...

Just wanted to know if losartan(Cozaar) is the best option for an alcoholic with gout and high blood pressure? Of course, the best scenario would be to completely delete alcohol out of the equation, but it is not an option at this time for the person involved.

I came across some soma and really do not know what it is for. is it a narcotic? is it addictive?

ve had GERD, post nasal drip, asthma and allergies all ELIMINATED as causes of my chronic cough. Codein is the only drug that helps - but codein is not a drug that one wants to use indefinitely. I've been coughing (dry tickle cough) for 12 years. They can put a man on the moon but they can't find a cure for this incredibly annoying and embarrassing condition.
