mrsD,
Thanks for the background info. I may just print out some WebMD info and fax it to my Cardiologist's office. He is rated as one of the top five Cardiologists in the greater Sacramento area.

Since I put it in writing and TOLD HIM I can't use tablets due to dry mouth, and since I wrote it down in size 20 font, bold print, I am dumbfounded that he did not prescribe the right thing.
He IS a good doctor, except for this.

Oh well, maybe on the third day of trying we can get it right. Wish you were my pharmacist,
I think you know more about these things than my doctors.
