My wife and I take Amlodipine 5 mg for blood pressure. Mine also has Benazepril 20 mg and my wife takes Hydrochlorot 12.5 mg with hers.
She doesn’t hold water and doesn’t urinate any more when she takes them than when she doesn’t so I was wondering why she takes a water pill and I don’t?

Thanks!

Our insurance charges over twice as much for no generic as for generic so I would like to know if the side effects with Zocor (Simvastin) are any worse than with Crestor? I now take Crestor 10 mg and it is working well but can’t afford it.

Thanks!

What kind of study was used to show Crestor was more effective than Zocor or Lipitor? Can my body really tell the difference between a 20mg tablet of Crestor and a 40mg tablet of Zocor? How large was the sample of the study? How large was the significance of difference? Thank you
