| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | We're all men here, mostly over 40. What meds do you take. I take a beta blocker and a water pill for blood pressure. The dosage hasn't changed for 17 years. I take a coated aspirin for afib, and Allopurinol for gout. I'm lucky about the BP, my brothers BP meds are constantly changing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril to treat high blood pressure. Its a pretty common medication. |

Warfarin sucks. It's rat poison. Causes bleeding in the brain you can't eat leafy green salads. Look up Warfarin/lawsuits and there are pages of results. There are studies and studies, my cardiologist still prescribes aspirin, as does the regular doc. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

My father was on Warfarin for about 3 years and he hated it. They switched him to apixaban about 15 months ago. A number of anticoagulants are available. The traditional ones (warfarin, other coumarins and heparins) are in widespread use. A number of new agents have been introduced that are collectively referred to as the novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) or directly acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs). These agents include inhibitors of factor IIa (dabigatran) and factor Xa (rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) |

I just found out Pepto Bismal does not go well with Allopurinol. I don't use Pepto often so it doesn't really matter to me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
