User Reviews for Benicar oral

the thing I noticed was dry throat and raspy voice,I have been clearing my throat quite often sinse I have been on 20mg of benicar

It has worked well for me with no side effects.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED LEFT PINKY FINGER NUMBNESS AND HEADACHE SO FAR AND SEEMS I AM SLEEPIER

i experience a lot off lighthead and dizziness and my heart skips a beat.

I have taken Benicar for about 5 months. I have been experiencing dizziness, hair loss,stomach and intestine swelling. Short term memory loss. Also I'm not urinating very much anymore. I am worried and am calling my Doctor today. Thank you Web MD for allowing people to tell what has happened to them with this medication it has probably saved me from harm to my organs I hope.

Has controlled my blood pressure very well but I have a very severe cough. Hate to discontinue the med but may have to.

headaches, dizziness and pain in muscles have made it difficult to do day to day tasks

I have only been on it a few days and have experienced a very dry mouth and the amount of my urine output has decreased which is very alarming. I am going to ask my doctor to take me off this medication.

I have taken this only 2 days... 20 mg. 1st day, 10 mg. today. Have experienced dizziness & light headedness.

Sexual side effects are a reality. This medicine is not for sexually active males. I have stopped this medication on my own. This is one of those bp medications you can stop w/o doctor's monitoring.

Have been taking 10mg (20 split) 12 mos for mild hypertension. Very effective. Mild exercise causes pressure to drop further so weight loss and conditioning might require lower dosage or might not be needed at all, but excepting that, keeps me in good range. No obvious side effects. Very satisfied.

Started on 20mg but had dramatic reduction in pressure. Leveled dosage at 5mg with excellent results. Sexual disfunction may be a result of Medication or Lipitor taken for cholesterol.

Major problems; lots of tests run; swelling of stomach and intestines, cough, loss of hair. I have been miserable for months, just recently found out Benicar was the cause. Waiting to find out if I have any organ damage.

seems to be working so my doctor says for me.

don't know. you tell me on how good this deug is for high blood pressue, and what too expect

Benicar will cause your extremities to lose natural color during sexual activity as blood flows elsewhere. Benicar will negatively affect your ability to maintain and desire as well. This stuff also causes sore throats and dry mouth. The FDA should remove Benicar and Avapro from the market.

I have been on the benicar for the last 2 years and I have just started to have muscle pain in my arms and dry mouth. It does control my blood pressure but I am not satisfied with the side effects.

Major loss of hair, swelling of face and lips

medication lasts only about 8hrs.supposed to last 24hrs

after preeclampsia, my bp would not go down. my diastolic was always over 90, so eventually i asked for this drug because my twin was using it. i had muscle aches and pains for 2 weeks and other side effects, but i stayed with it. i eventually dropped the hct as i was sure it was dehydrating my joints. i was much better. i would suggest taking it at bed time to allow it to absorb better. it is costly, but my doctor gives it to me via the drug reps.
