Cardace 2.5 H ,Amalong 5 mg side effect on my body as explained below?

None of the sites I researched list diabetes as a side effect of\nCardace.  Neuropathy and paresthesia are listed however, which may\ncontribute your cold sensitivity. Other than elevated blood glucose, I\nsee no evidence that Cardace causes diabetes.  In fact, one study of\nover 9,000 patients, Ramipril (Cardace) was found to REDUCE the\nincidence of diabetes. Drugs like Ramipril can help diabetics avoid\ndiabetic kidney damage.\n\n   Has your doctor ordered a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) test on\nyou? This can  help determine your blood glucose over a period of\ntime, as opposed to a random, a post prandial or fasting glucose. Do\nyou have family members with diabetes? Has your doctor diagnosed you\nas a diabetic? Are you taking insulin or medication? Diabetics are\nprone to high blood pressure.\n\nIf you are now diabetic, it is unlikely that Cardace was the cause. \n\n\n“Patients on ramipril had a 30% lower risk of developing diabetes,\nmaking it the first drug ever to be effective in preventing the onset\nof diabetes.”\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11075\n\n\nDiabetes:\n=========\nDiabetes, Type 1 is not reversible. Type 2 can be controlled with diet\nand exercise.\n\n“The two major forms of diabetes are type 1 (previously called\ninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes)\nand type 2 (previously called noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus\n(NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes).”\n\n“•  Over time, the pancreas becomes unable to produce enough insulin\nto overcome resistance. In type 2 diabetes, the initial effect of this\nstage is usually an abnormal rise in blood sugar right after a meal\n(called postprandial hyperglycemia). This effect is now believed to be\nparticularly damaging to the body.\n•  Eventually, the cycle of elevated glucose further impairs and\npossibly destroys beta cells, thereby stopping insulin production\ncompletely and causing full-blown diabetes. This is made evident by\nfasting hyperglycemia, in which elevated glucose levels are present\nmost of the time.”\nhttp://www.well-connected.com/rreports/doc42full.html\n\n\n"Patient education is essential to help persons with diabetes achieve\nglycemic control, but care should be taken initially to avoid\noverwhelming the patient and family with information. This article\ndiscusses the management approach during the early days and weeks\nfollowing the diagnosis of diabetes."\n\n"During the early period following diagnosis, the support of a social\nworker or psychologist may occasionally be helpful. The patient should\nbe asked about stressors at home or work to elicit information that\nwould suggest the need for appropriate referral. Initial assessment\nshould also address the patient's health care beliefs, educational\nlevel and cultural background. Support systems and financial\ncircumstances, as well as lifestyle and eating habits, are important\nissues."\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3225/is_n8_v51/ai_17003723\n\nDiabetes Learning Center\nhttp://www.diabetes.org/all-about-diabetes/diabetes-learning-center.jsp\n\n\n\n\nCardace:\n========\nCardace is an ACE inhibitor, a class of blood pressure\nmedications/anti-hypertensives.\n\n   “Ramipril belongs in a class of drugs called angiotensin converting\nenzyme (ACE) inhibitors which are used for treating high blood\npressure and heart failure and for preventing kidney failure due to\nhigh blood pressure and diabetes. Other ACE inhibitors are enalapril\n(Vasotec), quinapril (Accupril), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril\n(Monopril), benazepril (Lotensin), lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil),\nmoexipril (Univasc) and trandolapril (Mavik). ACE is important because\nit produces the protein, angiotensin II. Angiotensin II contracts the\nmuscles of most arteries in the body, including the heart, thereby\nnarrowing the arteries and elevating the blood pressure. In the\nkidney, the narrowing caused by angiotensi

I aggree with the answer given by bit321. Let me tell you now, what I would do, if you aggree, follow it.\nYou can try to exercise regularly, take care of your house(clean it yourself and renew some things that will make the difference) and take a lot of vitamins of natural provenience, ie.fruit juice, olive oil ecc.,no artificial fat, less preservatives,quit smoking, if you smoke. Smoke contains among the other substances also nicotine and this is vasoconstrictive; do you know what this means? \nLet me explain what does this means in a few words. When you try to think about something, your body sends a bigger quantity of blood in your brain;blood is bringing oxygen and nutrients in our body and the vasoconstrictive effect of nicotine doesn't allow the correct amount of blood to arrive there. So, you will maybe feel dizzy and tired.\nAnd smoke weakens also the memory.\nSometimes, this feeling maybe caused by the currency of cetain vitamins or minerals, ie. magnesium(Mg) or zinc(Zn).Why don't you try an internet research in the USDA site for food containing these elements?\nSurfing in the web, I found another interesting site. It is the www.tshc.edu/he/nutrition/MSVM/recommend_daily.htm\nDrink an infusion of relaxing herbs every night before going to bed with a spoonful of honey. You can find a big variety in a drugstore, like camomille, valeriane ecc.\nTake care during the preparation of the infusion!\nDon't boil the herb, you destroy the active substance. Just put it for 5 minutes in boiled water.\nSleep at least 7-8 hours daily and don't watch violent films in the TV.\nTake a book on how to aquire self confidence and read it in your free time. Then try to think about the principles and if you find them correct, apply them!\nTry to react! Think that different people has different reactions. Why should the others be right and not you?\nThey have THEIR opinion and you have YOUR opinion!\nYou have your own personality.\nIf they are offensive, then ...change them.It is always preferable to stay alone (with a good book)than having a bad company.\nTry to learn a foreign language. This sharpens the mind and it has been proved that if you always try to learn new things keeps the mind young forever.\nIf all these don't work (I think they will)then visit a specialist.\nYes, there are drugs that can relieve anxiety or depression and science can affront every disorder.So, there is no reason to worry about anything.\n\nI wish you all the best in your life\n\nKaterina

stop taking xenadrine -- is it more important to lose weight than have a heart problem? whatever they say about xenadrine is false advertising -- it does contain ephedra. it has been prhobited by the food and drug administration, but is still sold in some stores, even reputable ones because of it's popularity. it is effective i guess, but the side effects are not pretty -- people are in denial when it comes to this kind of drugs. they don't care about the side effects, as long as the drug is working. \n\ni bet these symptoms you listed above started when you started taking xenadrine. so i advise you to immediately stop that medication. i bought one of those trimspa years ago, never took one of them because i did a research on it -- not good. please try to remember, there are NO shortcut pills to a healthier body -- lifestyle change is a lot more safer and successful. \n\nthese kind of pills make you hyperactive -- makes the heart beat faster also -- and this will cause cardiac irregularites eventually. \n\nif you think xenadrine is so safe -- ever wondered why doctors DON'T prescribe it to patients? you are way too young to have heart problems (unless you've had it since you were a baby -- but still xenadrine is still contraindicated). trust me -- it's xenadrine that's causing your heart irregularities.\n\ngood think you were just playing bowling -- if you took this drug and started running -- don't know where you'll be right now. somebody has died from it too -- that's why ephedra is considered illegal.

No you cant, it is bad news and you really should not be using it as a diet supplement either.  Its a serious drug...see below!  Quote taken from a pharmacology text book.\n\n"Acute toxic effects are usually extensions of the therapeutic actions of the drug. Excessive doses may cause a sharp rise in blood pressure sufficient to produce cerebral hemorrhage. Other effects (usually transient) include headache, restlessness, anxiety, tension, tremor, weakness, dizziness, confusion, delirium hallucinations, pallor, respiratory difficulty, palpitation, sweating, nausea or vomiting. Repeated injections may cause contraction of the bladder sphincter and interfere with voluntary urination. \n\nThe possibility of urinary retention, especially in the elderly male, should be kept in mind."
