Almost any substance may be used sublingually if it dissolves easily in saliva. However, factors that can affect absorption include oral pH, salivary enzymes, lipid solubility, and molecular weight (molecules may be too large to pass through the mucous membranes). A sublingual product, specifically created to ensure effective absorption, is recommended.
Have you used Valsartan for treatment of hypertension patients in high risk patients? Are you aware about the combination Valsartan and Amlodipine to treat hypertension in high risk patients? How its is better than Telmisarton and Amlodipine combination?
Insulin glargine is a human insulin analog that has been designed to have low aqueous solubility at neutral pH. At pH 4, as in the LANTUS injection solution, it is completely soluble. After injection into the subcutaneous tissue, the acidic solution is neutralized, leading to formation of microprecipitates from which small amounts of insulin glargine are slowly released, resulting in a relatively constant concentration/time profile over 24 hours with no pronounced peak.
-( 3 days on valsartan and I was having horrible side effects of dizziness, rapid heart rate, general feeling of crappiness, even slight shortness of breath with the slightest exertion None of which I experienced with the benazepril. Called the dr, he told me to stop the valsartan, don't take anything for 2 days and then back on the benazepril and see him next week.
My new VA doctor wants to change one of my blood pressure medications from 160 mg of Valsartan 2 times per day to an equivalent dose of 100 mg of Losartan but only once per day. My blood pressure has been controlled for years with typical readings around 118/70 using the Valsartan, Amlodipine 5mg, and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25mg). I have not made the change yet.
1. Why should I agree to experiment with reducing my primary blood pressure medication and what are the risks?
I am so confused because I have too many issues that can cause the same symptoms. Recently, my doctor switched me from Valsartan HCTZ to Hydrochlorothiazide plus regular Valsartan for my blood pressure. When I first started it, right away I was having rapid heart beat and shortness of breath so he told me take potassium supplements. That did help but now I am wondering if I am taking too much potassium.
I've taken Valsartan since 2010 successfully. It controls my BP well.
Could this be the problem of my high blood pressure. Recently I was put on Valsartan HCT and I feel awful. Tired spaced cold...

Methadone has a slow metabolism and very high fat solubility, making it longer lasting than morphine-based drugs. Methadone has a typical elimination half-life of 15 to 60 hours with an average of i would say about 22. However, metabolism rates vary greatly between individuals, up to a factor of 100 ranging from as few as 4 hours to as many as 130 hours, or even 190 hours. So it's hard to say.
The water solubility of bilirubin allows the bilirubin to be excreted into bile. (Bile then is used to digest fats.)
Total bilirubin, if I remember correctly, is the conjugated hemoglobin, since there is also another portion that is not conjugated.
What the elevated total bilirubin means at this point is 'something' is going on, but you may need more information before your doc can determine the cause.
Instructions for Viagra, Cialis, etc. say not to take w/ BP meds. I'm thinking there are a cpl possibilities. Diovan (Valsartan) is available in different doses (20 mg, 40 mg, etc.), so maybe you could take a lower dose on the day you'll be using Viagra. Or possibly just skip your usual dose that day, then resume the next. However, your Dr. may not agree. I think the best strategy is to ask your Dr. about using these 2 drugs at the same time.
I went to a new GI specialist yesterday, doubled Nexium to 80 mg daily, and 20 mg of baclofen to control cough. The other option that was suggested was to repeat an endoscopy and do pH monitoring. I was on info. overload and should have slowed the dr. down, but opted for another try at meds instead of the scope. If I have not responded to drug therapy to control reflux during the past 3 or more months is there reason to believe that this will work?
I actually just got diagnosed with vb and got put on antibiotics to fix the ph balance and infection
Do any of u ladys have any answers to help me? How do u regulate ur ph level?
Is there anything medicane or anything I could take to help my ph balance that's not too expensive.
I think secondary just means it was caused by another medical problem which is obviously the Mitral Valve Regurgitation, for both of us. Like you, I do not understand how this will impact my lifespan, as my research into PH does not make one optimistic. I wish you the best of luck with your journey. I suggest you check out the PH Association's web sight because they will send you a free and wonderful book on PH. I have just begun to read it myself and hope to have some answers soon.
Based on the information you provided, you do NOT have pulmonary hypertension. Please also note that echocardiography can not definitively diagnose or exclude PH...this requires an invasive heart cath. Having said this, again, based on what you provide, you do NOT have to worry about PH.
Take a deep breath and feel good that you seem healthy (but please stop smoking!!!).
Best,
Dr.
