Avatar f tn Are the side effects listed on the manufacturer's insert? Maybe talking to your pharmacist would help.
Avatar m tn I hope someone sees this, im sorry but one of the questions not asked is how strong are the side effects, libido, impotence, decreased ejaculation , are we talking 20%, or 50%
Avatar m tn I recently read that one of the side effects of circumcision is meatal stenosis and that uncircumcised men don't suffer from it. Is that correct? Also, would this side effect occur if a male had a frenoplasty? Do any of the other side effects of circumcision apply to a frenoplasty?
Avatar f tn s office and asked about these symptoms, the nurse stated the doctor said these were not normal side effects. How do I get my Oncologist to see that I am having these problems and to treat them?
Avatar n tn I haven't read the side effects from Warfarin for some time as I have been taking it for about 15 years.. and I have none of the side effects you list. I am 74, so near your age and I suffer from many of the problems of aging which may be the root "problem", not the Warfarin. There is a newer (out for a few years for use in the USA) that is very different from Warfarin, but I can say I've seen class-action law suits advertized on TV concerning that drug.
Avatar m tn Dear Medical Experts: Brief background: I'm 48, 6'-1", 250lbs, body fat around 22 percent (waist minus neck size). Health issues: During March '10, steep ramp up of monthly bicycling mileage from 240 miles to 700 miles left me with sciatic nerve issues the result in my opinion of the piriformis muscle contacting the sciatic nerve. After the second attack, sought treatment at a spinal sports med clinic. During this period, traveled to Australia from US Pacific Coast.

Avatar n tn I'm not a doctor, just a patient who has been on warfarin for the past eight years. I had a mechanical heart valve implanted in 2004. I'm medically literate, and I've tried to read as much as I can about warfarin along the way. I even went to a day-long CEU workshop for medical professionals on warfarin management and got the certificate. But I'm still not an expert.
233622 tn?1279334905 The clearance of R-warfarin is generally half that of S-warfarin, thus as the volumes of distribution are similar, the half-life of R-warfarin is longer than that of S-warfarin. The half-life of R-warfarin ranges from 37 to 89 hours, while that of S-warfarin ranges from 21 to 43 hours. Studies with radiolabeled drug have demonstrated that up to 92% of the orally administered dose is recov-ered in urine. Very little warfarin is excreted unchanged in urine.
Avatar n tn A Summary of Ativan Sexual Side Effects It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will develop any of these Ativan sexual side effects. Also, if a person does develop sexual side effects, it is challenging to know whether these problems are caused by the condition or Ativan itself. This is because sexual symptoms are common with conditions that Ativan treats. For example, one-third of people with untreated depression report sexual side effects.
Avatar n tn Sexual problems are one of the side effects of this medication. Considering your last words, I would STRONGLY urge you to see your doctor as soon as possible! There are other meds out there that do not carry sexual dysfunction as a side effect. As far as I know, there is no Viagra type med on the market for women..........yet. Have you explained to your partner that it is the medication doing this to you?
Avatar m tn I have heard of some mess causing sexual side effects. You may want to run this by your pharmacist and ask once off of the med or mess causing the problem how long it will take to get rid of the side effects. Another thought is going on the medication website to see what their side effects are if you don't want to talk to someone about it. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn What I heard is that while we are hearing the negative stories about Pradaxa, there are many lives that have been saved from the devastating effects of a stroke. The down side to Pradaxa is that there is no known antidote to reverse the effects...like vitamin K that is the antidote to reverse Warfarin. You are correct in your statement about the convenience of not needing periodic INR testing. Like everything...there are pros and con's to just about everything there is.
Avatar m tn I did let my EP guy know about it, and he said just one of the side effects. So I just monitored it and had to not brush my teeth so vigorously. But I ate what I wanted to, no PT/INR checks. Pradaxa works by directly inhibiting the clotting factor thrombin, the amount of vitamin K in the diet does not matter. Pradaxa is taken twice a day, shorter life in the body and is cleared from the body quicker than coumadin (warfarin).
Avatar f tn thanks for your reply, i was taking 80mg twice a day, because of my symptoms my cardiologist has reduced this yesterday to 40mg twice a day, i have never had chest problems till i started taking sotalol, i also noticed i cannot eat anything sweet if makes me feel even more sick, the other med i am on is warfarin. i get afib because i have a hole in my heart which is enlarged on 1 side.
351404 tn?1299489130 Hi, I have been on Bisoprolol for years and have found no side effects except for being tired a bit more for the first few weeks. Your symptoms could be from the Atrial Fibrillation. There are several other beta blockers that you could try though.
Avatar n tn I was wondering if anyone knew of any longer lasting side-effects of this drug (i.e. the blood vessels in the penis permanently widen to allow increased blood flow). I'm not concerned over my health but was wondering if Viagra does something to physically change something in the penis to allow harder and longer lasting erections and if so, does this have any long-term consequences.
Avatar m tn I agree, some/most medications have some noticeable side-effects. For example, Warfarin makes my bleed more freely if I get a cut or otherwise rupture a blood vessel. But, if I keep the level just right, I don't bruise for no reason, or have gums that bleed if I brush too hard, and I don't form clots, so no stroke, GREAT! I can live, even well, with the side effects and it keeps me alive and not a cripple.
571167 tn?1223214465 I do not believe the medications the medical community has place him on are worth the side-effects. They placed him on Levetiracetam, Benztropine, and Abilify, and the side-effects are NOT worth the potential benefit of what--self-control? I have worked with youth in placement for 18 years, and these medications do not make any significant difference in their judgments because they do not change their value system.
Avatar f tn Dear Chypre: Your condition sounds serious. Please seek medical attention immediately. You are bleeding, taking warfarin (Coumadin), having diarrhea and cannot urinate for 15 hours. Please seek medical attention right away! Sincerely, Carrie Fu, Pharm.D.
Avatar f tn I'm on Coumadin have recently had my dose increased to 2 ml I have same effects but as I had a P E doc said I have no choice but to put up with the side effects as I have been worse since the increase I'm thinking of lowering the dose back to 1 and a half ml
Avatar n tn Hi, How are you? Side effects of Warfarin or coumadin include severe headache, dizziness, fainting, unusual or persistent tiredness, bloody/black/tarry stools, chest pain, shortness of breath,difficulty swallowing and swelling or sudden weight gain. If you observe these symptoms, inform your doctor for proper management.Coumadin can cause serious bleeding and this is the reason your INR should be monitored. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn 5 years my cardiologist suggests me to change to warfarin + asprin theraphy. I am scared of warfarin due to its side effects and risks. What are my risks if I continue with my currrent asprin+clopidogrel dual anticoagulant theraphy? Shall appreciate advice or sharing your experience with these drugs or necessity of changing over from one drug to another?.
