LeeInOz Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi,Anybody taking Mavik blood pressure tablets? Do you get them in Australia or GP give an equivalent?JenniferI take blood pressure tablets and got the same here, but use only generics because the cost is so much less. Bring a few months suppy unitl you can get to see a Dr. I will go by a pharmacy and ask if they stock it.

Eva Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 About a month ago I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was high, he sent me for all sorts of tests (thankfully no other problems) and when I went my back blood pressure was still high, so he has put me on medication called Karvea (irbesartan). I am on the lowest dose of 75mg and they cost $20 for a month's supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Chemist warehouse website Pharmacist reply as per below:Mavrik (trandolopril) is marketed in Australia as Tranalpha,Odrik or Gopten. It comes in the following strengths 0.5mg,1mg,2mg & 4mg. As it is a prescription only medication we are only allowed by law to dispense it from prescriptions written by Australian registered Doctors The prices vary from $8.99 to $24.99 depending on strength & brand.Gopten is the originator brand & our price for Gopten 2mg is $15.99 , the price of Tranalpha a generic made by Alphapharm is $12.99 for the 2mgHope that helps somebody else who may be on mavik.Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a prescriptionsorry for the spelling mistake it is trandolapril have most frequently seen apo trandolapril (which is an ACE inhibitor) used in the hospitals but have occasionally come across the other brands you mention.I guess the main thing is it is available.
