Health Query

My blood pressure is 160/100 yesterday afternoon. Doctor prescribed losartan 50 mg and simvastatin 20 mg since I have high cholesterol. This day, I done again my bp this morning and it still high. 150/90. Then, at lunch break still high. 160/100, doctor give me sublingual captopril and after 1 hr no improvement. So, they refer me to the internist. And the internist prescribed me amlodipine 10mb for 10 days once a day together with simvastatin 20 mg. I have no signs or symptoms of hypertension. I'm afraid. Also is there an interaction with the two med? amlodipine and simvastatin to take together? Pls help.

Health Query

Dear Doctor, My husband is 60 and has been diabetic for some years now. He has been taking Janumet tablets, once after breakfast (850 mg) and Cozar, (losartan potassium) - 100 mg twice daily. Recently he did a Fibroscan and was diagnosed as having Stage 4 liver cirrhosis. Now he has to ALSO take Heptral 500 mg 2 hours before food twice a day as well as the Janumet and Cozar tablets. He does not drink or smoke, and we are VEGETARIANS. Kindly advise (1) What food can he take as there are conflicting views (eg on proteins, grains, yogurt) for diabetics and non-alcoholic fatty liver patients? (2) Can he continue to take the medicines prescribed as we don't want to burden his liver further. Thank you.

Diabetes and cirrhosis liver in same patient is a tricky situation and should be treated by multidiciplinary approach. Best choice in my openion is insulin for controlling diabetes.

You are taking so many medicines. What do you want to achieve.
Your weight is 92 kg but you have not mentioned your height. If you are overweight reduce the weight. Exercise regularly. Discuss with your treating physician who will help you in reducing your medicines, because he knows your clinical profile.

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Hi curiosity is fine, but if you try googling each and every medication you will find something which your mind wants to find. What is best for you your doctors know better than you as the beta blockers which you have mentioned you have just googled them and have no idea regarding their efficacy potency or mortality benefit. You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more

No different molecules in addition.
Cilacar c has cilnidipine which is a calcium channel blocker and chlorthalidone a diuretic and sartel ln has telmisartan with cilnidipine both are used for bp control. Take care.

Smokeless will have full effect very slowly after one month of regular use. If you want results in one day, then discuss with your Dr. regarding fast acting medicines like chlorthalidone.

Asked for male, 40 years old from Kolkata

I am a 40 years old male, weight: 51 kgs (ht. 5 ft 3 in). I am having high blood pressure since last 03 years. Presently under medication of cilnidipine 10 mg + nebivolol 2.5 mg once daily and my blood pressure is normal. But my serum uric acid often gets elevated for which I take febuxostat 40 mg. My cbc, lipid profile, liver panel, serum na, k values, fasting & pp bs, serum creatinine are all in normal range. Ecg impression is also quite normal, though 2d-echo shows mild left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction. My physician is advising me to switch to losartan 50 mg + cilnidipine 10 mg. What should be the best treatment for diastolic dysfunction/lvh? Should I switch to losartan-cilnidipine combination?

Dr. Jatin Goel87%(35 ratings)

General Physician•Faridabad

Yes you can switch to losartan and cilnidipine.
Losartan has benefits in reducing uric acid also. It will control bp and prevent remodeling of heart too. Adding cildnipine will further help to control bp by dilating blood vessels and reducing work load on heart.
The mainstay of treatment for lvh with diastolic dysfunction is ace/arbs, diuretics, ccbs and beta blockers!
beta blockers may later be added if needed!
