Tums is an over-the-counter adolescent drug which Is the amount of acid in your stomach. Eliquis is anti thrombosis drug that works by inhibiting factor Xa in the coagulation system.

What if I stop taking atenolol?

There are many different blood pressure (BP) lowering drugs on the market. The target is to get your diastolic BP (the lower figure) under 100 mm Hg and lower your systolic BP (the higher figure) to under 150 mm Hg. Atenolol is a rather unspecific beta blocker and Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor. You should have a talk with your GP about other options, such as Angiotensin II inhibitors, calcium channel blocks and diuretics.

That depends entirely on what sort of health insurance you have. Some allow direct patient contact to certain specialists, others do not. Some encourage second opinions, others discourage it. Check you policy. If that doesn’t help, tell your PCP that the treatment prescribed isn’t helping ad that you wish for a second opinion. If your PCP is not a complete ass, s/he will humor you.

Post vasectomy complications - is this adhesion/fibrosis?

Keeping your history in mind, I would exercise extreme caution if I were you. Find an experienced urologist if you have access to one. If you do not, then ask your GP to help you READ MORE
Keeping your history in mind, I would exercise extreme caution if I were you. Find an experienced urologist if you have access to one. If you do not, then ask your GP to help you out. Once you get that urologist's opinion, then get a second opinion. If your insurance does not cover this, you will have to pay this out-of-pocket, but I deem it highly advisable to follow this route in order to avoid a repeat of your previous experiences. You also are advised to exercise skepticism when obtaining these opinions, so that you will assure yourself that the surgeons are not simply trying to make an extra buck by re-operating. Be further advised that you should consider to what degree the condition that you have is livable.

Dear Sir,

Your question is basically nonsensical. What you mean by suspected of having filariasis? The diagnosis is straightforward. What is not suspected of having filariasis, one either as it or one does not. What do you mean by living around the house? If you are worried of being infected by that person, then the year fears to rest, unless you are in a mosquito infested area, in which case one mosquito that bites the person that is infected can then transmit the disease to another person. The disease does not spread from person-to-person. What do you mean by slowing down? Relative to what?
