monopril

Avatar f tn i have been on monopril(fosinopril) for many years- and it also helps to protect the kidneys. since starting Tx my BP spiked, and they added Tiazac.
15695260 tn?1549593113 Common medications in this class of drugs are commonly used medications such as captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil or Zestril), perindopril (Aceon), ramipril (Altace) and trandolapril (Mavik). It should be noted that this research was not done as a clinical trial but rather an 'observational study' where older adults with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia were being studied. About a quarter were on ACE inhibitors and they observed this benefit.
Avatar f tn if your body does not handle internal sutures well, please find another doctor to go to who will not use them on you. it most likely will happen again, so personally, I would not go forward with using the PDS sutures.
Avatar f tn Hi, Non-dissolvable sutures are used by some surgeons, while some only prefer dissolvable sutures. It really is surgeon preference. If your doctor has moved out of state, and if you have any concerns, I recommend you making an appointment with a plastic surgeon in your area. ________________ follow Dr.
Avatar m tn When the incision was enlarged to remove the rezoom, this probably caused astigmatism which was improved with the sutures. When the sutures were removed, the astigmatism got much worse again. Now with the sutures put back in - if done properly -the astigmatism can be improved to some degree again, and the sutures can be left in - again as long as they are placed properly. I feel badly for you. Was it the same surgeon who did the original rezoom???
683476 tn?1226752773 Again he used the sutures that do not dissolve on their own. (He always uses sutures that need to be later removed - for any situation.) Why is that? (I'll be asking him too when I see him today.) Well all seemed fine and dandy, healing slowly ... but healing. Again it's only been a little less than a week since the surgery. Now, however, his ear is swollen again - all around the sutures. Seems like, this time, the back of his ear is swollen.
Avatar n tn I am not a Dr but I had similar healing problems w permanent sutures that would not allow my tissue to heal and I had to keep getting surgury to remove necrotized fat. I have heard they use these sutures in breast reductions. Ask ur surgeon if he used them. If so have them removed and see if you can then finally heal. Just my humble opinion. Also ask if the sutures used were a braided suture made by a co. Called Ethicon. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I've only had staples (had 2 so far, going for my 3rd in 3 weeks), & I had some issues with them last time. One of my OB's partners sent me home with them & she told me I should have had them taken out prior to discharge. I was in quite a bit of pain until I could get in to see her. I've heard sutures are better because they dissolve. If you have a choice, I'd recommend the sutures, however I can't speak to the scarring issue.
Avatar f tn the staples were painful, everytime I moved I felt the staples but once they were removed it was easier for me to move around I dont want to risk my incision opening again as it did prolong my recovery time.. im hopeful that the dissolvable sutures wont be nearly as uncomfortable and that I will heal better and quicker... Although my doctor says she usually does staples but she can do sutures if I want...
Avatar m tn The doctor used 6-0 nylon external sutures and 4-0 vicryl internal sutures (the external ones were removed a week after surgery; the internal ones were to dissolve on their own). Since the surgery, the cut itself healed in a nice straight line, but I've had really persistent, somewhat scaly redness around the excision site, about the size of a thumb's nail. I'm beginning to suspect that perhaps the stitches haven't dissolved and I'm still having a reaction to them.
Avatar m tn As long as the incision site looks healed and clean its fine. A technician can easily remove the sutures. Worse case the sutures are embedded (meaning the skin grew over them). Being only 20 days, they probably can still be dug out, its just a little more difficult, It is even possible the stitches aren't even there anymore as most kitties will remove them themselves given the chance...sassy kitties. However, even if thats the case, still have a technician check it to make sure.
Avatar m tn s note - early bacterial infections can mimic suture-line reactions if the bacteria have gained access to the body tissues by traveling up the sutures. In these cases, the inflammatory reaction will also be centred around the sutures because this is where the bugs are lurking. Untreated, however, such bacterial infections will usually spread and become more generalized (i.e.
Avatar f tn Its called a cerclage. Keep us updated.
Avatar f tn Hi, The deepening dent on the top of forehead could be due to separation of cranial sutures or sutures of the skull. Diseases or conditions that cause an abnormal increase in the pressure within the head can cause the sutures to spread apart. These separated sutures can be a sign of pressure within the skull.
1620589 tn?1351357975 Do you still have sutures in your eye where they cut to insert the lens? Some doctors don't use sutures anymore, but some still do. If this is the case they can be painful.
Avatar m tn i think my experience is alittle different than everyone elses. i have been on monopril for many years for high BP- and was OK to take the hep c Tx. however while on Tx my BP rose again, and they added tiazac as well. BP is now maintaining well, and 42 weeks into 48 everyy things looks as if it is working well.
Avatar f tn If so you may have a reaction to the sutures in your neck and on the sides of your face by your ears. I had to have a second surgery to have the deep plane sutures in my neck removed 8 weeks after my initial surgery. I am still healing from the trama to my face and neck tissues but it is getting better and I can see a big improvment but I went through 8 months of Hell so far to ge there.I too have had to hide out for many months!
Avatar m tn While the condition is not necessarily fatal, the area needs to be explored and revised with removal of any foreign objects (sutures). There surely must be some surgeon (even a general surgeon) in your area that will evaluate and treat her if she does not have the confidence in her original surgeon.
Avatar f tn My doctor indicated the pain is coming from the sutures surrounded on the eye. What is the real time recovery in healing the sutures? What recommedation you can provide to expedite the recovery of it? I am only taking tylenol extra strength for pain reliever. I never had this experience before on the inital surgery that I had. Any response you can provide is very much appreciated. Thanks and More Power!
Avatar f tn When I worked for a surgeon, I remember one patient who kept coming in to have sutures removed. They were deep. He got relief from having them removed.
Avatar f tn Then I go check with my doctor. He then told me i ripped the intetnal sutures and get a less than 1 cm defect. He said this called incision hernia and need operation to sew or put mesh to repair... Could I get hernia just ripped the internal sutures? Can the internal heal or stick back by itself? Thanks.
Avatar m tn I had three sutures from my eye removed yesterday one month post surgery of having hideous ReZoom lens explanted. Things were good before the stitches came out but now horribly blurry. Is this a normal result of the eye needing to heal after the suture removal or possibly something else? The doctor had said he had to make a large wound to get ReZoom out.
Avatar n tn In addition, the compression may help swelling and take tension off of the sutures placed in the cartilage. Some protrusion of the ear may be a result of swelling from the surgery. If the results are not what you expect after several more months, then the concern would be disruption of the deep cartilage sutures or unequal adjustment of the tension of the sutures that were placed.
Avatar n tn Well I am not a Dr but I have experience w persistant swelling and wierd similar syptoms post surgery when deep disolvable sutures were involved. I am pretty sure they r also used in a TT. Ask your surgeon if he used a polypropylene stitch commonly used. Perhaps manufactured by.a co. Called Ethicon. It is FDA approved so it's not the Drs fault if that is the cause. It was most likely the cause in my case. (No one will ever really know why) I had an xray and a ct scan done.
