Reserpine, Hydralazine, and Hydrochlorothiazide (Systemic)
Brand name(s): Cam-Ap-Es
Description
Reserpine, hydralazine, and hydrochlorothiazide (re-SER-peen, hye-DRAL-a-zeen, and hye-droe-KLOR-oh-THYE-a-zide) combinations are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.
Reserpine works by controlling nerve impulses along certain nerve pathways. As a result, it acts on the heart and blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Hydralazine works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood to the heart while reducing its work load. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps to reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine. This also helps to lower blood pressure.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form:
- Tablets (U.S. and Canada)
Last Revised: 08/19/1998

generic lisinopril
You may consider asking your physician if Lisinopril w/ Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) would be right for you. If you are having water retention, the HCTZ can offset that by having the kidneys get rid of excess water and salt through the urine. I have been taking Lisinopril/HCTZ combo and have not had any problems. It's been wonderful to be back to normal. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension at age 23. It was unexplainable how, but this drug has changed my life.

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......
But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:
