I have bronchial asthma and every blood pressure medicine I have taken causes a constant cough and wheezing. Are there any medications I can take that doesn't cause these side effects? I have tried ToProl, Lisinipril, Tekturna, and now am on Verapamil Extended Release.
t smoke, do exercise, am thin). My doctor put me on a diuretic, Tekturna and Bystolic, and within a week I had completely lost my sense of taste! Anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a side effect that will wear off if I just stick it out. The combination seems to be working well to lower my bp and hr but I'm losing weight (a bad thing) and really, really miss food!
Thank you Steph for taking the trouble to look it up for me, I did try googling it but wasn't really getting anywhere.
Hello Rott,
Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am glad that you found us and took the time to post.
I am so very sorry to hear that this manufacturing error has affected you. It's always frightening when we have to change from a medication that we have become comfortable with and that works!!
I have been searching for the exact facts on the recall. It appears that the primary concern is that the non-narcotic medications (listed below) may contain the narcotic.
I use genteal and the bottle seemed stopped up. I took the bottle tip off and found " muck" stuff growing in the bottle like in a bottle of water that's been setting out for several months. The tip had a long string like thing in it. I pulled it out and will go back to the pharmacy to tell them. It needs to be reported as contaminated. But can't seem to find email or a phone for Novartis pharmaceuticals. Any ideas.
Check out your eye drops.
If not low risk. If there is traction know that there is a new medicine Jetrea that is injected into the eye which can sometimes dissolve the attachment of the vitreous to the macular hole without having to do a vitrectomy.
I'm sorry to hear about your epilepsy. I've got it, too. I think Novartis makes Tegretol. I went to their website (http://www.novartis.com/) but couldn't find a patient monograph.
According to http://www.merck.com/mmpe/lexicomp/carbamazepine.html, one of the "Adverse Reactions" is "Hepatic: Abnormal liver function tests, hepatic failure, hepatitis, jaundice".
I had a h1n1 vaccination novartis -preservative free back in Nov 15th to be exact. I received hot sensations in arms shoulders neck from a preservative free vaccination. I have tingles,numness on extremities throught the night since 5 days after innoculation. During the day I have had it change from the hot sensations-alomost gone. To numbness in pinky finger,left foot for 2 weeks to right foot most recently for 2 weeks. Hope there will be an end soon to this madness.
Hi Everyone, After 3 months of Femara I suddenly developed carpel tunnel syndrome. My entire right arm became numb in the middle of the night; I thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. I called Novartis & they sent me the requested 9 pages of info about musculoskeletal side effects, the most common being carpel tunnel & trigger finger. I saw a hand specialist who provided hand braces and said I would eventually need the surgery.
These are the two links about today's recall of the Excedrin, and Gas X medicines....
They also include some opiates...
The main issue was that it was POSSIBLE that one type of pill may have gotten mixed in with another type...
Most pharmacists have checked this out and are the one's to notice it...but it's important to check your opiate medicine if yours is listed to make sure all the pills are the same. If you have the regular meds listed...you can get a refund..
Ive searched the internet for a source for METAPROTERENOL SULFATE SOLUTION and Ive sent emails to 3M, Boehringer Ingelheim, DEY, Graceway Pharmaceuticals, MORTON GROVE, Novartis. Novex, Par Pharm, Roxio, Sandoz and Watson Labs with no results. Somebody still has to be manufacturing it somewhere but nobody will say who.
