Is Loprin the only medication to be taken at present?
Patient: Age:75. HBP diagnozed 190-90 yestrday. No blood pressure taken since the age of 34 when it was as high as now. Cosntant vertigo sitting on computer 12 hours a day, doing research on Magement Sciences; spondiltis, black spots on left eye and weak eye sight (left eye) diagnosed; vertigo persists despite hbp treatment (one doze of medicine under tongue - lasting 24 hrs.); Loprin 75mg. prescirbed, generally beneficial but vertigo pesists. Going to change the power glasses today. Perhaps this is the correct treatment. Generally heathy, regular half hour exerise since 20, still cotinues, food mainly vegetables and fruit, no meat, plenty of fresh water. Would Loprin be enough? Other medication stopped until results are determined about spondiltis. Your opinion? Am going to change my spectacles today. Would bringing bph be beneficial? Mahmud. Magagement Consultant to Cantt,Hospital, Rawalpindi. Doctor: Hi,Welcome.This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.Loprin is a NSAID which is a anti inflammatory medication for joint pain & joint inflammation. It has nothing to do with bp & vertigo.You have a pretty high bp & that needs treatment. I would recommend you to start with 5mg of Amlodipine once daily & get your Kidney Function tests done so that medication could be changed to a better one. For vertigo, i will recommend starting a drug called Vertin 16mg thrice daily & get your lenses checked.Come back if you need more help.Thanks
