is it ok to cut lisinopril in half

I’m only taking 5 mg of lisinopril and I take 150 mg Zoloft I’ve been having a extra heartbeat (palpitations ) my cardio put me on 12.5 mg of metoprolol a 25 mg cut in half is this all safe to take togather.?

I seen the one post on here that said fried eggs with the yolk still runny is ok ... It is NOT ok lol just thought I'd let you know ... Don't want you to start eating fried eggs now cuz of tht. The egg is supposed to be fully cooked NO runny yolk.

Yes, my pill can be split in half. I don't have a pill spliter, so I am wondering if I can use a knife to cut it. I already cut it actually and it split right in half. My pill has a "divit" like a divider already so it cut very easily.

since I had MI but not heart failure- is is absolutely necessary to take beta blockers? One of the doctors ordered renin test and the results came today quite high- 28.2, the ratio though is ok.

Thanks for the reply it helped a lot, so are you still maintaining your vegan diet? My Bp is 144/75 just checked it I need to get on a good diet and cut down and hopefully that will help. What did your blood pressure numbers look like before? And what's your diet like?

u r trying to cut back but perhaps it is not the time for u to wean off...some need to use it long term while they do the work they need to do thru intense aftercare...sub can help u skip wds pretty much..but it can not make u clean..only u can...with the long half life of sub it is doubtful the oxy u took even had any effect at all anyway..u need to examine ur goals and re-examine ur plan...u need to talk with ur sub dr and be sure he is aware of ur plan..long term or short term sub..

Is it ok to sleep on your right side when pregnant, I've heard to always sleep on your left side. But sleeping on my right side is the only way I'm comfortable.

Here recently though after I take Lisinopril it has jumped to 130 when walking 100 when resting. I take Lisinopril in the morning and my pulse jumps but at night it gos back to being okay (Lisinopril's half life is 12 hours). I haven't taken today because I was out but my resting pulse is 90 and when I went to WalMart it went no higher than 110 unlike 140 yesterday. I am a 24 overweight male 5'4" 190 and I am out of shape.

My question is for the first little bit when baby gets home is it safe to have baby sleep in my room in a playpen that has a bassinet?? I have read that its not safe for them to sleep in a playpen but is that even if theres a bassinet in it??? I will obviously have a crib in the babies room but i just dont want to have to buy another bassinet plus a playpen and crib since this will be my last child i was hoping i could cut out cost on at least the bassinet!!! Thanks!!

You cannot cut it in half, do you know if they did a culture on you, most of the time there is several different antibiotic they can try. Ask your doctor to do another UA on you see if the UTI is better, and always let your doctor know if you have an adverse affect to any meds. hope this helps.

Is it ok for me to ask to be induce next week at 39 and 3 days along?? I'm swelling up like a pumpkin and I have to have antibiotics before and am not dilating more then 1cm. I've been that for 2and a half weeks now.

Here's a statement from another website (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jv6nh30O0e7ydhqQO0GGldkpxnkw)......."Strikingly, if it was given after the mice developed full-blown symptoms, lisinopril reversed their paralysis." This is the second real promising discovery i've seen in the past week or so.

The amount of alcohol required to produce the same varies from individual to individual. In some, it can occur with very small amounts of alcohol whereas in others it may not be the case. In majority, the palpitations are benign & thus are not serious. The confirmation of the presence of any disturbed rhythm of the heart can be done by doing a holter monitoring. This is a continuous 24 hr ECG monitoring.

My main question is how low can your heart rate get and still be safe? I'm afraid to take a beta block for my hypertension because my hr at night gets as low as 55 without them. I'm 24 years old I have hypertension, I'm active/normal weight I also have LVH from my hypertension. Would it be safe for me to take this beta blocker bystolic My doctor has prescribed me? He said it wouldn't lower it much but from the posts I've seen they do. Thoughts?

I am on week 10 of Peg and Riba. After 4 weeks my test came back undetectable. However my hemoglobin dropped to 6.3 and I had a transfusion. The doc lowered my riba to 3 a day ( 600 total ) from 6 a day as he thought the riba caused my hemoglobin to drop so low. I still take full dose of Peg. I weigh 160 now. Down from 175. I am worried that lowering the riba dose will affect my results since I was on full riba in the first 4 weeks.

s scored, it usually is ok to cut it. I used to take atenolol 12.5 mg in the am and pm, and just cut it with a knife (although it wasn't scored, so the "rule" didn't apply...!) I just used a really small sharp knife and would place the knife in the middle of the tablet and just give it a tap. Pill cutters are fairly inexpensive, though. I found that it would crumble my little tablet so didn't work as well for me. The nice thing about beta blockers is just that...

Try and stay working.....it gives you a purpose in life which is very important. Without it people become depressed and give up on life. ""What's the point??"" An EF% of 45 is not bad, it's just shy of being normal. The symptoms you are describing would put you into a NY Class of IV which is having symptoms even at rest; your EF% doesn't agree with that.

First a little about me. I'm 33 years old. 6'2"- 200-205 and 14% body fat and very fit. I workout reguarly, have been doing martial arts and crossfit for 15 years and am teacher. I ran an half marathon, 10 months ago. I've now been diagonosed with idiopathic cariodmyopathy. I' have no chest pain, occasional shortness of breath(with extreme or long effort). Not even when I'm exercising or training do I have any pain.

That also happened to me when I was prescribed Metropolol 25mg I had to cut the pill in half and it took me a few weeks to get adjusted to the effects of feeling like I was walking on air,,I now take 12.5 in the morning and 12.5 at night this has helped me alot.

I've had some suggestions to cut the pills in half, but I have capsules, not tablets and they cannot be cut in half. What should I do??

I drank it when I was pregnant with my first son and he came out great. Since it contains aspartame it is ok to drink during pregnancy just taken in moderation.

back to normal size and function. He decided to stop taking his coreg and lisinopril last week. He is weaning himself down. I think he is crazy for doing this -- especially without telling the doctor . Is his heart really cured or are the meds keeping him healthy? and what will happen if he stops them altogether?

Since my blood pressure is now in the 95/67 range, my doctor told me to reduce the dose. When I tried to reduce from 1 tab to 3/4 tab, I felt my heartbeat was faster than normal. I thought this medication lowers the blood pressure and has nothing to do with the heartrate. Anyone has experience with Lisinopril / HCTZ ? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply! I figured it would be ok, and that lots of people must be doing this during these tough economic times. My dr had given me a script for 20mgs in case I needed to go up, but 10 seems to be ok for now. I might call the pharmacist just in case!

Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?
