Re: Spiro and Tagamet HBFrom: PJ (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 14 Feb 2002 07:41:38 -0600 (CST)
Belle, Thank you for your response. No I'm not taking Glucophage, only 200MG of Spironolactone, and 400 of Cimetidine. I wasn't aware that the Cimetidine could have the side effect of lowering blood pressure. I'v been having "dizzy" spells for the last couple of weeks, that could be the reason. I've noticed that my hair is thicker on top than it used to be, but you can still see through it. My Doctor said it would take at least three years to see any results on hair growth. Does that sound right to you? It seems that everytime I go in there they move the time frame back.
