from my friend . I want to know how effective it is ? What are the
side effects of this drug . ? My father is 70 years old . Will it suit
him ?

Actually Amizide is prescribed  for patients who have potassium
deficiencies  whether they may be long term occurrence or may have just
developed .It is also used for hypertension , edema of cardiac cause
and cirrosis . You can get the information of Amizide in the following
sites :
http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/CMI/a/amizide.htm
http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s342-s-AMIZIDE.aspx
but this drug should be strictly taken after the consultation with the
doctor . this is a prescription medicine  .
I think for the treatment of hypertension the dosage is 2 tablets twice
a day. but always consult the doctor before taking it .

It is effective.

That will depend on the patient.  The potential for adverse events is
present for most prescription medications and the list is long for the
potential adverse events for most of these medications.

Only the LORD knows **before** your father starts taking it.

Will be available to "glow" and chat about this and other things like
cardiology, diabetes, Bird Flu, the 2006 global earthquake advisory,
cooking and nutrition that interest those following this thread here
during the next on-line chat (03/30/06) from 5 to 6 pm EST if the LORD
is willing:

For those who are put off by the signature, my advance apologies for
how the LORD has reshaped me:

Is your friend a doctor? Does anyone want to play doctor for this guy? You
ask excellent questions which should be addressed properly.
