Re: Mirabegron - 3 months ago
Thanks for the Canadian price on Gemtesa. I just ordered 90 of them for $349. Made in England. My USA insurance has it listed as Schedule 4, with myMedicare copay being $688. virtually double the Canadian price. No generic to be available for years. I find it, combined with Flomax and Finisteride, quire effective.by Saywhat - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Re: Mirabegron - 4 months ago
Not to sound like a TV commercial but ask your doctor about Gemtesa. It's new and expensive with no generic available but worth it if it works. I tried Myrbetiq and it was of no help. With my cystoscopy they put enugh Lidocaine in there during the whole procedure that it wasn't too bad. Ativan helped, too. FWIW, my Urologist said to drink virtualy all of my daily waterby Saywhat - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Carey: Check you data. Avocados have waaay more potassium per weight measure. Avocado has 63% more potassium than kiwi - kiwi has 312mg of potassium per 100 grams and avocado has 507mg of potassium. Antioxidants and Phytonutrients ... They're locally grown, have less sugar, in season now and taste better. Full disclosure - I grow and market Hass avocados commercially.by Saywhat - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Looks like GERD/acidity is the culprit???? - 7 months ago
For me, tapering off the Prilosec is working better than just stopping it cold turkey. It appears my stomach over reacts to Prilosec being stopped by making more acid than needed amd certainly more than wanted. My PCP suggested alternating days of Prilosec with Pepsid for a couple of weeks then tapering off the Pepsid on a PRN basis until gone, then experiement with reducing the Prilosec.by Saywhat - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Best Brands for CoQ10 - 8 months ago
Pretty informative and well written report from the Cleveland Clinic two years ago: Here's an excerpt that might be particularly important to heart patients.

Re: Best Brands for CoQ10 - 8 months ago
For years I've been taking liquid Qunol, on sale at Costco about every other month or so. Both my Cardiologist and hand surgeon recommended it because I also take a statin. It tastes fine.

Re: Mucinex - 11 months ago
One of the easiest and best things to try is a vaporizer, like they used to suggest for babies, next to the bed and on all the time you're in or near it. Cost is about $20.by Saywhat - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: I'm getting an ablation - 1 year ago
Mel: Ablations are now becoming first line treatments. Age itself is no longer a limiting factor in ablations. They have been successfully done on people over 90 y/o. I had my second one by Dr. Natale when I was 83. For the first ablation when I was 70 I was very hesitant and apprehensive. It went like the textbooks say it shoud and I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours. The maby Saywhat - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Age cut off for ablations? - 1 year ago
I had a second ablation by Natale at age 84, two years ago, and am still in NSR but with ectopics. If it comes back I wouldn't hesitate to have him do it again. My heart had not enlarged over the 13 years between ablations, probably due to not letting the new Afib get out of control before treating it. I also had a hip replaced last year and I'd rather go through another ablationby Saywhat - AFIBBERS FORUM
