Blood Pressure – Inderal LA (Propranolol generic) and Cozaar good combination?… by brunettenxtdo
I take Inderal long acting 80 mg 1 time per day. My BP still runs a little high. My cardiologist prescribed Cozaar 50 mg in addition. Just wondering if anyone taking Inderal or propranolol (generic for Inderal) has taken this combo and how they did? Any side effects?
Best Answer:
– Not all blood-pressure drugs are alike. An exciting new study shows that Cozaar reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death in seriously ill heart patients.
And that's not all: the drug also cuts the risk of diabetes in heart patients. For heart patients who already have diabetes, the drug lowers the risk of death.
Treatment with Cozaar reduced the risk of death from stroke by one-fourth
Studies found that patients with coronary artery disease might benefit from taking both Cozaar and a beta-blocker. The combination of Cozaar and a beta-blocker has been tested and results are promising.
Cozaar is a type of drug known as an angiotensin receptor blocker or ARB. It is expected to show the same superiority to other beta-blockers — Betapace, Blocadren, Brevibloc, Corgard, Inderal, Sectral, Toprol, and Zebeta. It's not yet known whether other ARBs — Atacand, Avapro, Diovan, Micardis, and Teveten — will work as well. However, an editorial in TheLancet suggests that it is reasonable to expect that they.
Most of the side effects from Inderal is insomnia and erectile dysfunction.
