Well so far it is having a good effect, though it does not reduce the effect of heart attacks. The Mycardis is supposed to. At the moment the only side effect seems to be that I have a much clearer mind. The doctor said that it has good effects, though I have been unable to find any research stating what these effect might be. I have not looked hard. The main down side effects are supposed to be headaches and swelling of the lower legs, though this happens in single digit percentages of people. I have to yet suffered from these.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th><a title=\"Systole (medicine)\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Systole_%28medicine%29\">systolic<\/a><\/th>\n<th><a title=\"Diastolic\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diastolic\">diastolic<\/a><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>152<\/td>\n<td>97<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>127<\/td>\n<td>74<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>158<\/td>\n<td>100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>159<\/td>\n<td>110<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>157<\/td>\n<td>101<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>154<\/td>\n<td>90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>128<\/td>\n<td>97<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>142<\/td>\n<td>92<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>137<\/td>\n<td>87<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>148<\/td>\n<td>91<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>136<\/td>\n<td>79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>137<\/td>\n<td>82<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<td>127<\/td>\n<td>77<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Also contains:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lactose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lactose<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">Another major use of lactose is in the pharmaceutical industry. Lactose is added to pills as a filler because of its physical properties (i.e., compressibility) and low price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microcrystalline_cellulose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">microcrystalline cellulose<\/a>,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, a anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in. The most common form is used in vitamin pills or tablets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maize_starch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">maize starch<\/a><\/strong> and<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">Corn starch is used as a thickening agent in soups and liquid-based foods, such as sauces, gravies and custard. It is sometimes preferred over flour because it forms a translucent mixture, rather than an opaque one. As the starch is heated, the molecular chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh, thickening the liquid. It is usually included as an anti-caking agent in powdered sugar (10X or confectioner&#8217;s sugar). For this reason, recipes calling for powdered sugar often call for at least light cooking to remove the raw corn starch taste. Baby powder often uses cornstarch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Magnesium_stearate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">magnesium stearate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">Magnesium stearate is often used as a diluent[3] in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules and powders.[4] In this regard, the substance is also useful, because it has lubricating properties, preventing ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment during the compression of chemical powders into solid tablets; magnesium stearate is the most commonly used lubricant for tablets.[5] Studies have shown that magnesium stearate may affect the release time of the active ingredients in tablets, etc., but not that it reduces the over-all bioavailability of those ingredients.[6][7] As a food additive or pharmaceutical excipient, its E number is E470b.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Most Common Side Effects:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">10%: Swelling\/Edema<br \/>\n7%: Dizziness<br \/>\n6%: Fatigue<br \/>\n&lt;1%: Muscle Pain\/Cramps, Drowsiness, Dryness, Constipation, Numbness\/Tingling, Breathlessness, Hot Flashes, Urinary Frequency, Heartburn\/Reflux, Restlessness, Erectile Problems, Chest Pain\/Tightness, Weight Gain<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the moment the only ones I seem to be suffering from are Urinary Frequency and Restlessness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5575462512\/sizes\/l\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8240\" title=\"5575462512_35787d5bd9\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/5575462512_35787d5bd9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I have changed my mix of drugs and now I am taking a new one.
