Amlodipine causes several drugs to increase in levels, including cyclosporine, simvastatin, and tacrolimus (the increase in the last one being more likely in people with CYP3A5*3 genetic polymorphisms). [39] When more than 20 mg of simvastatin, a lipid-lowering agent, are given with amlodipine, the risk of myopathy increases. [40]
Dementia prevention is a critical area of research, as experts want to understand what people can do to decrease dementia risk. A recent study found that more than 5 years of taking medications ...
Two widely touted Alzheimer’s drugs have been shown to enable patients to remain in their homes for longer periods of time. Those medications, however, are not without their risks and side effects.
The risk of POCD increases with age, and the type of surgery is also important because there is a very low incidence associated with minor surgery. [4] POCD is common in adult patients of all ages at hospital discharge after major noncardiac surgery, but only the elderly (aged 60 years or older) are at significant risk for long-term cognitive ...
Evidence suggests that a reduction of blood pressure by 5 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of ischaemic heart disease by 21%. It can reduce the likelihood of dementia, heart failure, and mortality from cardiovascular disease. [2] There are many classes of antihypertensives, which lower blood pressure by different means.
Of the study participants, women were at a higher risk of developing dementia than men, but they also had a better response to the vitamin D intervention—women who took it had a 49 percent lower ...
Patients on the blood-thinning drug Warfarin experienced higher rates of dementia and Alzheimer's, according to a new study. Widely-used heart drug linked to increased dementia risk Skip to main ...
In pooled data, from three comparative studies conducted in 200 patients with mild to moderate hypertension, 2.5 mg of levamlodipine was found to be equivalent in its blood pressure lowering efficacy to 5 mg of amlodipine. The average reduction in systolic BP was 19±3 vs 19±4, 20±2 vs 19±3 and 20±2 vs 19±3 mm of Hg recorded in standing ...
