avapro dosage form

Just diagnosed with a 43% ejection fraction and my doctor prescribed Avapro. Is this the proper treatment?? He gave me samples of 150 mg tablets and said I could cut them in half and just take a half a pill once a day. What do you think about that?

I have a long family history of heart disease and have high blod pressure (taking avapro) and gerd(taking protonix) I have noticed a frequency in the pvc's since i started the avapro and protonix. Do i need to do any further testing? Do you think that these pvc's are increasing do to the meds? Thanks so much!

The medication prescribed to me is Avapro HCT 150mg/12.5mg (Irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide) taken once daily (1 tablet) mainly to help ensure the blood pressure remains under 140 systolic, which is believed to help reduce the pressure on the aorta and root. I am booked in for a second opinion with another cardiologist next week mainly to re-assure myself and my wife (and kids) that things are chugging along okay.

My last echo showed an ef of 37. I have since been placed on Coreg, Avapro, Nitroquick, Lasix, Potassium, Imdur and Lisinapril. My angiogram was normal and as of today I have not had any heart attacks. I try to walk to improve my condition, but, I am usually too short of breath to take a shower. I had a pacemaker implanted when I was 26 because my heart rate was dropping to 21 bpm. I am very concerned that my days are numbered. What questions should I be asking my physician?

There are a number of medications to treat this condition such as Coreg, Avapro etc as there are a number of new procedures to surgically assist in the treatment. Also I would advise the addition of 2 supplements to your medications COQ10 dosage depends on weight etc I take 400MG per day. Also L-Carnitine I take 100mg per day.

You can get t3 in a synthetic form (Cytomel) which can be added to your t4 regiment. This is good to try first before going with desiccated as the desiccated thyroid world can be difficult to manuver. (formula changes, availability, etc...). Also, magnesium has been a good suppliment for my daughter and has helped with aches and constipation and sleep if taken before bed. Psillium with lots of water (we used capsules) can also be of help to some with constipationt too).

Broke through Verapamil now on Atenolol and dose has been raised.. recently have high blood pressure and now want to add avapro to the regieme.... any answers? 45 year old woman with child 9 yrs old.

Hx: Hubby 47 has had HBP for 1 year? systolic(136-150) dyastoic(104 118). Heart rate high 90's or 100 - 110. Took Avapro o/d x 1 month July/08. Stress test after second appt. was okay.

Take the insert out of the box and see if you Can make sense of the dosage information. Says you can start with a dosage of 100 mcg if you are under 50 years o,d or recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. However if you are older than 50 or have cardiac problems you should start with .13 to .25. Therebis about 3 paragraphs of confusing dosage information.

I had been taking 150 mg of avapro for 10 years for high blood pressure. I recently lost 25 pounds and was able to maintain my blood pressure on 75 mg. in fact with a home machine my blood pressure is consistently low. It never goes above 106/70 and most often is 90-97/70-75. Would it be safe to stop taking the medication to see if I can keep the pressure from getting high? Or would it be safer to cut the pill in half and if so, for how long?

Rash is mainly on left eye and one spot on cheek, small rash on right eye. I do sleep on left side. Other med is Avapro for HBP and I have been on that for 2 years. Thank you!

I take avapro for blood pressure, immovane for sleep and now to quell the anxiety. I have frequent ophthalmic migraines (all sparkly lights, no pain) and have a pain migraine every two weeks or so. I can't get anyone to help me and with every week I am that much less functioning. Oh, I've also gained 40 lbs in six months; mostly belly fat. Please!! Any thoughts? Suggestions? Home remedies while I wait to get a doc to take me seriously?

However, a single day miss of the medicine, gave me a third seizure, which made me aware that missing the meds all together will anyways cause a seizure, and that the dosage has to be slowly reduced before completely finishing the dosage. After 2 yrs of taking Valprid, my doctor switched me to Lamosyn...again 400 mg, due to Valprid's side effects such as weight gain. Lamosyn was also equally good. At the end of 3 yrs i.e.

The decrease in bioavailability is believed to be a function of the dose and not the dosage form. It was demonstrated that acyclovir is not dose proportional over the dosing range 200mg to 800mg.

One day I ate some white rice, sugar suddenly fall to 8 mmol, then even a tiny piece of roti was dropping suddenly. Blood pressure increased, Took avapro, started eating more protein. But I did not get any medical support. Family doctor says, I do not know, hospital says go to family doctor. Family doctor did not give any specialist. However after 5 months, sugar settled between 8 mmol to 11 mmol without medicine. But I was eating less carb, mostly vegetable and rotein.

I take xanax as well, it helps me thru difficult times. My belief is that all opiates are bad, but not for everyone and not all the time. I would say if you've had a previous addiction to opiates in any form, then you may need to proceed with caution. Opiates are known to replicate the virus. You really need to talk this over with your doctor. Unfortunately I was exposed to a litany of drugs as a youth 1968-69.

No, 50mcg Synthroid was not supposed to take care of it. Adjusting thyroid meds is a bit of an art form, and many doctors have no clue what to do if they can't look up your recommended dose on their computers and slap you on it and have your labs drop perfectly into line. Sounds to me like your doctor knows his limitations and wants you to see an endocrinologist. I'd recommend an endo also...this is a lifelong condition, and you want to work on a good relationship with a doctor.

5mg percocet and an 80mg oxycontin is astronomical, and could mean the difference between life and death. Cutting a time release form of medication can lead to fatality...these are very serious medications with very serious side effects.

A year ago, my doctor gave me Lescol/Fluvastatin to take because I am a high risk for heart disease due to genetics and diabetes. At that time my Lipids were within normal range. After a month, ALT/AST results were very elevated. and medication was discontinued. Since then, I've gone through ultrasound, HiDa Scan and finally diagnose of fatty liver. The Gastroenterologist recommended Liver Biopsy to check for liver damage.

m on BP medication (avapro 150mg). My BP is usually in check running around 118/70. No family history of heart disease (except Dad passed away from cardiomyapthy, was determined to be a non-genetic virus that attacked his heart). I'm 30 years old, 5'11 195 lbs. I try to eat pretty healthy, lots of fruits and veggies. Exercise a few times a week. I've had the following tests done.

Synthroid is T4. T4 is the "storage" form of the thyroid hormones. It floats around in your blood stream until cells need thyroid hormone. However, cells can't use T4, they can only use T3, the "active" form of the thyroid hormones. T4 is converted to T3 at various sites in your body...liver, kidneys, gut and the site where it's needed. Lithium can impede the conversion of T4 to T3. So, once you take some of it away, you are suddenly raising your FT3 level.

He will most likely be able to do the best job dealing with both the hypo and diabetes. More than likely, he will Rx Synthroid or another form of thyroid replacement medication and have your blood tested every 4-6 weeks or hopefully sooner. He can then adjust the dosage of meds according to your TSH level. I don't believe your heart problem has anything to do with your thyroid, but I am no doctor.

If so it is crucial that the correct form is used. Several supplements contain the d as well as the l form and are not as effective. The patented form from Japan, called Suntheanine, is the one which has been used in all of the controlled studies and is used in Japan as a recognized treatment for ADHD. It is now available in capsule form in the US.
