Ezetimibe was found to have a 50%inhibition conc of 25micromolar, while irbesartan, a commonly used angiotensin inhibitor to reduce blood pressure, was found to inhibit at 11.9 micromolar. Both compounds have similar MW, but irbesartan is given at up to 300mg per day, while exetimibe is dosed at 10mg. Thus the combination of 30fold higher approved dose and the double micromolar inhibition potency makes, in theory, irbesartan 60 fold more potent to inhibit Hbv entry.
m currently taking Irbesartan every morning and is now controlled well. I enjoy traveling in hot conditions, some days can be up to 39 degrees. Can my blood pressure medication stand such heat if I was to say just put it in my wallet? I'm always traveling to different places and don't always have access to a fridge or ice to take on hand. If not, are there any other heat resistance BP medication i can try?

Group I which included 13 patients , 8 were not diabetic or hypertensive (Group Ia) and 5 patients were diabetic and/or hypertensive (Group Ib). Patients of this group were given Interferon alpha2b monotherapy for 24 weeks. Group II included 9 patients, 5 were not diabetic or hypertensive (Group IIa) and 4 patients were diabetic and/or hypertensive (Group IIb). Patients of this group were given interferon alpha2b plus ribavirin for 24 weeks.
Can you please advise if I am taking high blood pressure medication (irbesartan) and Altorvastatin for high cholesteron and I am also taking Tamoxafin for breast cancer (about to come off this drug), is it adviseable to take Leptin Cocoa for health weight loss or would this affect the medications?
I have no other problems other than herniated c5-c6 and occipital/trigeminal neuralgia and have been on neurontin for 6 months....I am concerned...why am I hypertensive...I first thought it was because I was having pain but I took pain med and BP really doesn't come down much....I am not really in any pain just the gas pains occasionally and I am walking but I am afraid to do too much because of my BP...Could the CO2 be compressing some of my vessels causing me to be hypertensive?
put me on lowest dose of Losartan and I got joint pain in my thumbs and then in a knee so I weaned myself off but my BP was very high (systolic) during visit. He puts me on Irbesartan, SAME class of drug, then goes on VACATION. It's the smallest dose and I took a corner of a pill yesterday, no pill today, BP is fine, I'm in PAIN. My thumbs hurt, my right foot and left knee, I don't feel well and then I read that all of this are side effects of this drug.
Is there a strong correlation between hair thinning/loss with accutane patients? Should she be concerned about permanent hair loss? If her hair is thinning, is this permanent as well or temporary?
I am a male 70 years of age. I have been on 150mg Irbesartan and 5mg Amlodipine daily since October 2010. This controlled by BP within acceptable limits. Since late April, however, the systolic has risen to an average of around 150. My doctor wants me to add a beta blocker to the other medications. Since last October my heart rate was averaging below 60. Since late April it is averaging around 70.
Long term or inadequately controlled hypertension can affect the blood vessels in the retina and the consequent changes are referred to as hypertensive retinopathy. Hence a regular follow up with an ophthalmologist is recommended for all hypertensive patients to study these changes.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
my friend just started taking trandolapril 1mg and Irbesartan its only been a couple days but she feels awful
dizzy, heart palpatations, head ache and her blood pressure is still really high 190/110
should she just stick it out?
Ophthalmologic disorders
Decrease or loss of vision, retinopathy including macular edema, retinal artery or vein thrombosis, retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots, optic neuritis, and papilledema may be induced or aggravated by treatment with peg-intron alpha 2b or other alpha interferons. All patients should receive an eye examination at baseline. Patients with preexisting disorders (e.g.
Ectopic beats are rarely attributed to CAD. We sometimes order a stress test to make sure in higher risk patients, but not on all patients. If you are low risk, it is true that a stress test is more likely to yeild a false positive test.
MVP is associated with more pvc's. It doesn't sound like your MVP is that bad though.
It is also true that stress (emotional or physicial like exercise) can cause some people to have more events.
Caution and clinical monitoring are recommended if these agents are prescribed together, especially to patients with underlying risk factors. Generally it is commmon to see a anti-hypertensive, a antiarrhythmic, and possibly a cardiogenic agent such as digoxin, and a diuretic, prescribed together when heart disease exists. This is not unusual. Good luck with your research!
Hi, I am a 54 years old. I have never smoked, am quite active but a little obese, no diabetes, nor have high bad cholesterols/triglyceride.
Seven weeks ago, in the middle of the night, I had gripping pain in both my wrists, which then spread to my chest. My blood pressure (amazingly and for the first time in my life), shot up from my regular 130/90 to 200/120, and that too for no known reason. Pulse remained normal at 75/m.
In the previous JNC 7 guidelines released in 2003, the target blood pressure was less than 140/90 mm Hg for most hypertensive patients and less than 130/80 mm Hg for patients with chronic kidney disease or diabetes.
Hello all,
I have a quick question for you, I'll try to be brief. My backstory is as follows: Diagnosed with mild LVH and mild HBP which is under control with Irbesartan 75mg. I'm 23 years old, and I exercise and I'm losing weight currently. I try to follow a low sodium diet. My BP is controlled now. I also have stage 1 diastolic dysfunction due to the HBP and my aortic root is dilated mildly. Event monitor patch, stress test and ekgs normal.
Furthermore, improvement of retinopathy is delayed in hypertensive and diabetic patients after ending treatment [7]. This relationship emphasizes that IFN-induced retinopathy can result from physiopathological mechanisms in common with other retinopathies related to microvascular abnormalities.
Conclusions: In conclusion, this study showed that signs of retinopathy and neurovisual impairment were common in patients receiving alpha-interferon therapy but were rarely symptomatic.
