Q: Can any one tell me how the drug Atonal differs from telmisartan for treating hypertension?
A: atenolol is a beta blocker and telmisartan is an ARB, different mechanism of actions and different side effects, generally both are good, good luck
Q: Is it ok to take Viagra with telmisartan?
A: If you are going to cross-medicate yourself, you should always speak with a doctor or pharmacist
Q: I have been using telmisartan, can i shift to enalapril since it is cheaper? i have osteopenia and arthritis.?
My other laboratory exams were normal, would it still be ok?
A: Don’t change ANYTHING in your prescribed regiment without the direction/consultation of the specialist you see.
Q: Telmisartan and Bisoprolol?
I am having controlled hypertension, minor depression and controlled Cholesterol. Fibromygalia.
I am taking Telmisartan 80 mg, Welbutrin 75 mg, Cymbalta 30 mg and crestor 20 mg.
Off late my B.P remains 150/105 due to stress and some times alcohol and travelingg etc.
Can I add Concor 5 mg to control B.P or should increase Telmisartan to 120 mg?my BMI is 29 and I have started going to Gym also for last 1 month.
A: never without consulting your cardiologist
Q: what is the effectivity of telmisartan tablets of 20mg?
telmisartan is a medical tablet that cures hypertension or high blood pressure
A: Drugs ending in “sartan” are angiotension receptor blockers. They block the effects of angiotension II at the angiotension I receptor. This leads to a decreased blood pressure by decreasing vasoconstriction, and decreasing sodium/water retention. These drugs also allow angiotension II to bind to the angiotension II receptors mediating vasodilation.
These drugs are a good choice to decrease blood pressure and minimize side effects (compared to other medications).
As a side note, they do not “cure” hypertension, they just make it manageable.
Q: telmisartan 40 mg & rampiril 5 mg tablets effects & side effects?
A: Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker
Ramipril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
They both work to decrease the amount or the action of angiotensin. Angiotensin acts to increase a hormone called aldosterone (released by the adrenal glands that sit atop of each kidney). Aldosterone causes the kidneys to keep sodium in the blood (decreased excretion of salt from the body).
Hence, as they block angiotensin, less aldosterone is released and so more salt is removed from the body, and where salt goes, water follows, this leads to a drop in blood pressure.
If prescribed correctly, they will cause the blood pressure to fall into a normal range. Too much, and you might get
a) too low a blood pressure leading to dizziness, nausea etc
b) electrolyte imbalance (low sodium, high potassium)
c) rash, anaphylactoid reactions (similar to allergic reactions)
d) ramipril causes an incessant cough, not seen so much with telmisartan
3) fatigue
and really, a whole host of other things.
Hope this helps. Remember to take the recommended dosages prescribed hopefully by a qualified physician (specialist in internal medicine) and report any major side effects so that the doctor can act accordingly.
Q: should i take ramipril and telmisartan together?
A: The best advise will be given by the doctor who prescribed you the medicines. Never self medicate as self medication results in more severe other problems intead of solving the actual problem.
I searched the net and found may be it is of help to you
Telmisartan 80 mg provides superior reductions in SBP and DBP in the last 6 h of the dosing interval compared with ramipril 10 mg. Data shown are from two independent, fixed-dose, 14-week studies: Prospective, Randomized Investigation of the Safety and efficacy of Micardis versus ramipril using ABPM (PRISMA) I and II. PRISMA I was conducted in Europe and South Africa, and recruited 801 patients.1 PRISMA II was conducted in the USA and Canada, and recruited 812 patients.2 Patients were started on telmisartan 40 mg or ramipril 2.5 mg, and force titrated to telmisartan 80 mg or ramipril 5 mg after 2 weeks. At Week 8, ramipril was further up titrated to 10 mg. Blood pressure was measured using ABPM. As well as superiority in the early morning period, in both studies telmisartan was significantly superior to ramipril over the 24-h mean and other time periods: morning (06:00–11:59), daytime (06:00–21:59), and night-time (22:00–05:59). 1.

Q: Would a prolonged low grade fever of 99.9 be a symptom of uncontrolled high blood pressure?
I am 24 years old I have had high blood pressure since I was 18 years both parents have it also. For the last three months I have been having chest pain and they have not been able to get the pressure down. I have been hospitalized three times one time being in the ICU. The only test they have done are two different stress test and some EKGs. They have told me that the reason that I have chest pain is because when my blood pressure gets to high the artiries contract causeing pain. I am now taking 9 med which are Telmisartan 80mg, Isosrbide Mononit 60mg, Esomeprazole 40mg, Lisinopril/ HCT 20/12.5mg, Amlodipine10mg, Methyldopa 250mg, Furosemide 40mg, Simvastatn/Ezetimib 20/10mg,Colnidine 0.2mg, and I also take QuickNitro. With all these meds you would think my pressure would below but it is not. My PCP has me come and see him every two weeks while the Cardiac doctors tells me that it is going to take time to find out whats wrong. I also have some leakey valves there not the cause i hope.
A: probably not, possible symptoms of high blood pressure vary from person to person. These symptoms could also be symptoms of other health problems. Most doctors say that if you’re having symptoms such as:
Headaches
Heart palpitations
A tough time catching your breath after exertion
Fatigue
A flushed face
Blurry vision
Nosebleeds
A strong need to urinate often (especially during the night)
Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing in the ears)
Vertigo (feelings that you or the world is spinning dizzily)
with the above symptoms they say to get checked for HTN
with a low grade fever, it’s usually around 101 degrees fahrenheit and It is a non-specific finding, but occurs in many diseases, ranging from infectious (viral infections or infective endocarditis) to autoimmune to malignant causes.
A persistent low grade fever can be a sign of many sicknesses.
you should definitely get a second opinion and get some blood work done. maybe the cause of your HTN is due to a virus. normally a virus makes itself and breaks itself and lasts around 10-14 days, some viruses can last months depending on your immune system. you need to get at LEAST a CBC with differential done among other new tests and blood work. good luck.
endocarditis is a possiblity and i would suggest you look into that, i am not a doctor but upon research found this could possibly be a concern.

Q: can i sue sildenafil when i am using nifedipine?
For BP i am using Telmisartan 40 mg, and amlodipine 5 mg. Recently my doctor added nifedipine 10 mg. For ED i am using Sildenfil 50 mg once in a week. Today i would like to use sildinafil. I got a doubt whether i take it along with the newly added nifedipine 10 mg. If any one is using please tell me. Thanks.
A: Sildinafil is not a good idea if you have uncontrolled hypertension. Please talk to your doctor before using.

Q: Medicine?. I have Henoch Schonlein Purpura. Why causes this. how can i avoid the red spots in my leg?
I have high bp and high protein (+++) loss in urine. I am currently on TElmisartan. What should i do to reduce this urine protein loss. Also how do i decrese the red spots on my leg which occur 2-3 times in a week. Also what is the life expectancy of a person suffering from this symptom. Is this caused by high bp
A: my daughter had this when she was 11, the only cure is rest it will soon go,regular urinechecks and bood checks are needed,for awhile but it gets better on its own it is not caused by high bp,it is a viral thing.it normally ony affects children,and can cause stiffness off the joints,and may reoccur,it will not shorten your life.

A: phospholipids (with a H) i think…..Without a lot of time spent here i did notice these were mostly vasoconstrictors…Especially the naproxen and the levothyroxine sodium and for intestinal smooth muscle contractions the hyoscine in tablet form is prescribed in one form or another,,,,,well there is my answer…have a good day…from the E…
Q: BP Medicines and Erection?
I am having BP from the last 10 years. It is in 120/80 with Atenolol 50 mg, Amlodipine 5 mg and Telma-H (Combination of Telmisartan 40 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg). From the last 6 years i am suffering with Sinus problem and erection problem. Do I have to chnage these medicines? Which BP medicine is best ??
A: Some medications can very well interfere with sexual erections. Check with your doctor to see what he can prescribe that has little or no side effects. Also, you should not smoke, drink beer/ale, booze or do ANY drugs. Any of these can cause erectile dysfunction and/or impotence.
Q: Can any one tell me how the drug Atonal differs from telmisartan for treating hypertension?
A: although both these drugs are using for hypertension they are from diffrent pharmacological category. telmisartan is an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker while atenolol is a Beta Blocker(Beta1 Selective).
Beta blockers are a class of drugs that block beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent in the “sympathetic” portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system and activation of heart muscle.
Angiotensin II receptor blockers are medications that block the action of angiotensin II, permitting the blood vessels to relax and dilate (widen), which lowers the blood pressure. Abbreviated ARB.
ARBs are used to control high blood pressure (hypertension), treat heart failure, and prevent kidney failure in people with diabetes or high blood pressure. Since the ARBs have effects similar to those of ACE inhibitors, they are often used when an ACE inhibitor cannot be tolerated by patients
By blocking the action of the involuntary nervous system on the heart, beta blockers relieve stress on the heart. They slow the heart beat, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduce blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain, and throughout the body.Thanks to their effect on blood vessels, beta blockers can lower the blood pressure and be of value in the treatment of hypertension.
Q: Telmisartan and Bisoprolol?
I am having controlled hypertension, minor depression and controlled Cholesterol. Fibromygalia.
I am taking Telmisartan 80 mg, Welbutrin 75 mg, Cymbalta 30 mg and crestor 20 mg.
Off late my B.P remains 150/105 due to stress and some times alcohol and travelingg etc.
Can I add Concor 5 mg to control B.P or should increase Telmisartan to 120 mg?my BMI is 29 and I have started going to Gym also for last 1 month.
A: Neither. Don’t take this wrong, but that’s what doctors are for. Even if you went to med school, you shouldn’t adjust your own meds.
