Advice re Prednisone dosage please.
Although I was initially diagnosed with PMR & GCA in 2017, I received another tag of SLE in 2018. Since then I have experienced increasingly more frequent episodes of angioedema, ranging from lip to mouth, tongue and throat swelling. The attacks are occurring more and more frequently and I am attempting

Ramipril & Covid-19
Someone sent an article from a newspaper yesterday that described certain ACE inhibitors and Ramipril was mentioned as they can make the symptoms of Covid-19 much worse. Do others subscribe to this or have anyone been told by their GP or hospital to stop taking Ramipril if they have Covid-19 or its symptoms

What are your experiences?
Hello everybody. I am absolutely terrified as I have decompensated cirrhosis newly diagnosed. Lockdown has meant delays in seeing a specialist and I have oedema and ascites. Read online that life expectancy is 1 to 3 years and am just so scared. My fibroscan was 21.3kpa.

ACE inhibitors, AR Blockers and NCOV-19
One of the first studies investigating the association between ACE-inhibitors, AR- blockers, and outcome in NCOV-19 has recently been published. Although based on a relatively small sample size, the conclusions do appear to be encouraging: "We observed that patients receiving ACEI or ARB therapy had

Angiotensin antihypertensives and COVID-19: No clear added risk nor protection.
Yesterday in a reply I raised the possibility of whether angiotensin-related anti-hypertensive drugs, ACE inhibitors or ARBs would have any protective effect on COVID-19 infectivity, having heard that the virus uses "ACE2" as a receptor. The current NEJM issue has an article summarizing this complex

Cholbiomex3
Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin

BP meds
Hi, I have been taking ACE inhibitors to control my blood pressure for a few years. As I work in a supermarket doing online shopping and come into contact with people. Am I in the "at risk" category with COVID-19? Please could you advise. Thank you.

Covid-19 and high blood pressure medication
I have just been speaking with my GP about the link between ACE inhibitors and ARB drugs prescribed for hypertension (and other conditions) and the incidence of severe Covid-19 infection (several million of us are on these meds). He said there was no proven link and these stories were just dreamed up

Cataracts and beta blockers
A few days ago someone asked about beta blockers making cataracts worse and I said I would ask today when I saw a consultant regarding cataract surgery. He said that beta blockers do not cause or worsen cataracts but they can dry the eyes - something I didn’t know. Rosemaryb1349
