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?

You posted in the Prostate Cancer forum. Have you had prostate cancer? That could certainly be a factor, or the treatment of it could be.
The meds you take have been shown to help some men with ED, but a lot depends on the cause of it. If your ED is being caused by high blood pressure or thyroid issues, it could help.
Have you spoken with your doctor about it yet? Are your blood pressure and thyroid being monitored?
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?
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.
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.
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?
I went for an MRI of my breast and found out that over the past four years my aortic root has dilated from 3.3 in 2005 to 3.7 in 2009. The biggest jump from 2008-2009 3.4 to 3.7cm. Does this mean I have an aneurysm? I don't have any of the risk factors. I am not overweight, have low blood pressure, never smoked, don't drink over 1 glass of wine. So what is the risks and what is the prognosis?
Hi, My doctor has diagnosed a mild calcification of the aortic valve and mild to moderate aortic regurgitation. I also have mild hypertension which is controlled with Irbesartan. I'm 50 and don't seem to have any symptoms but what can I expect and what can I do to improve my condition.
Call your pharmacist or your doctor and ask if this is a known side effect of the med you're on. Ask if stopping has any risks, and if not, it's a good idea to stop and see if that solves your problem. Sometimes you have to taper off some meds but unless your BP is so high you're about to drop dead from it, most BP problems depending on your age and how long the problem has existed can be fixed by changing diet and lifestyle.
t have a history that looks scary for ovarian cancer. Most ovarian cancer is not genetic and happens for unknown reasons. Because of this I recommend thorough annual exams and be aware of the symptoms of ovca. Also pay attention closely to your own body. If something does not seem right, do not ignore it. Good luck to you.
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.
Fingering is safe. STDs are not acquired or transmitted by hand-genital fingering or other hand-genital contact. If that's your only exposure, there is no risk. A theoretical argument can be made that HPV may occasionally be transmitted in this manner. There are no proved cases, but it may explain the rare cases of genital HPV that are sometimes detected in technical virgins.
You have a high risk of developing breast cancer based on the strong family history. The risk of developing breast cancer by age 70 is about 45% to 87% for those with BRCA1 mutations while it is about 26% to 84% for those with BRCA2 mutations.
Since you are at risk, you may undergo genetic testing. It is very important also to modify lifestyle, exercise, and have a regular consultation with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
HPV is the causitive factor for cervical cancer, however having HPV does not mean a person will develop cervical cancer (or for that matter any ill-effects from it). High risk HPV, are the strains of HPV that have the potential to cause cervical (and/or vaginal/vulva etc.) cancer. Low risk HPV has the potential to cause genital warts.
Studies in Japan and Sweden also have shown lower risk among vegetarians. It seems that with every bite of meat, we increase our risk of cancer. Luckily, we can eliminate animal products from our diets and replace them with vegetable proteins that can protect our health instead of harm it.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, arguably the foremost epidemiological researcher alive today, argues that animal proteins are the prime carcinogen in meat and dairy products. Says Dr.
and cancer is then detected, it has rarely progressed to a point that carries any danger. It is only invasive cancer that presents any important health risk, not simply the presence of cancerous cells ("carcinoma in situ") -- and the average time from CIS to invasive cancer is several years, providing an additional margin of safety.
Finally, the pap guidelines (in both the UK and more recently in the US) also take into account patients' ages.
