How many different medications are you taking? (medications, not supplements)

 

[Hoot Crawford]

9 plus Tylenol when needed (which is most days)

 

[John Brunner]

I take a statin, and since I got my broken bladder forever catheterized and get bad sediment, I periodically instill an antibiotic (which is technically topical for the cath, not something that gets metabolized.)

 

[Connie Bennett]

1. High blood pressure.

2. Ocular hypertension which is not connected to high blood pressure.

 

[Krystal Shay]

Zero. None. I do not, and have not had to take any daily medications thus far. *knock* I feel very fortunate.

 

[Marie Miller]

Biotin, iron, allergy nose spray as needed.

 

[Janine Coral]

Cholesterol pill, BP pill, Bone pill for Osteoporosis, sleep assistance low dose pill.

Vitamins, supplements not included.

 

[Ken Anderson]

One: Levothroxine

 

[Lois E. Winters]

I included all my vitamins in that count.

 

[Krystal Shay]

I do take some vitamin supplements daily. I thought Ken was only asking about prescription medications; not supplements so I didn't mention those.

 

[Jacob Petersheim]

Ten. I'm clearly a walking wreck.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

I have three medications that I take for my heart, Farxiga and Entresto for the heart failure, and Eliquis because of the afib. Even though the pacemaker controls my heart beat, there is still afib happening in the upper chamber, and that will always be there, so I have the eliquis to prevent a blood clot and stroke. The Farxiga is also supposed to help my kidney failure.
I also take Armour Thyroid for my thyroid.
Other than that, everything else that I take each day are my supplements and vitamins.

 

[Mary Stetler]

I take a LOT of supplements and just went out for my first harvest of nettle
On exceptionally bad days, I take an aspirin.

 

[Beth Gallagher]

Blood pressure, gout, and occasionally acid reflux meds.

 

[Kate Ellery]

Blood pressure and cholesterol I only take once or twice a a week cause it causes me to much joint pain

I guess you've tried switching statins. I was on Lipitor for the longest time with no ill side effects, and for some reason my doctor thought that Crestor would work better. I got horrible muscle pains. I switched back, and the pains went away.

 

[Kate Ellery]

Crestor is what I take John , I’m surprised he didn’t order a cholesterol check on a recent blood tests

John, did you discuss this with your medical provider?

 

[Marie Mallory]

Baby Aspirin and Tylenol, may try the hydrocodone when we go to town.

 

[John Brunner]

John, did you discuss this with your medical provider?

Yup. That's when he switched me back.
