Suffering from diabetes, developed Pylonephritis and pedal edema. Can I start Cilar10?
Patient: My wife is 60yrs old suffering from type2 Diabtes 10yrs.and HTN 5yrs.Recently she developed Pylonephritis Rt.Kidney and with inj Meropenem and Oflox.S.Creatinine reduced to 1.5 from3.6; Her B.P is170/80; with Telma H40 , B.D.She developes pedal edema to CCB. Shall I start Cilar10 instead of Telma 40.H? Doctor: HIThanks for your queryTelma H is not known to cause pedal edema. Cilacar on the other hand is a variant of CCB and has a small chance of producing edema.So I would probably stick to the current prescription.However if there are any problems in the future its best to change medications under the supervision of your treating physician.Hope this helpsGood luck
