User Reviews for Benicar oral

was out of range, being diabetic, is there a generic form of this, i would like to know, doing good

This medication has help me to control my high blood pressure. I'm using it in combination with Toprol XL, because the Toprol alone wa snot able to control my high blood pressure. Since I'm using Benicar mmy blood pressure is normal or closeer to normal.

blood pressure down

When first started sneezed 10-12 times straight, did not know what was happening. Had to take allergy pills. My knees & hip bones hurt so bad & unusual for me. I still take it but seem to cough a lot and not sure if it is benicar or not. I always cough & have some mitral valve leakage. I do not hurt anymore very much so far but do not understand why they would have a drug for anyone to take that could damage the kidney & liver on the market.

with a BP of 140/90..20 mg/once/day - within 3 weeks my resting BP was 110/60 and my active BP was no more than 130/80. The info on this web page is excellent.

I'm only on it a few days, but have noticed that I have more frequent bathroom trips. My former medicine was Hyzaar and also was a water pill.

I've only been taking it for a couple of days, but I have been experiencing stomach pain and leg pain. My BP is still unstable.

Been on it for 5 yrs. Very well tolerated and my BP has been lowered and stable.

would only last for 10-12hrs

I just took my BP, 164/95. I have been on the Benicar for 4.5 months. I started on 20mg for the first 4 months, now taking 40mg. I was not taking my BP until now because I assummed that the medicine was working. I have been feeling poorly these last few months and did not relate it to the medicine until I read the other reports listed here on Webmd. I will need to go back to Dr for new medicine.

I was satisfied with this medication for a period of 6 months. My blood pressure went way down and I went off for about 2 months. At that point my blood pressure went up again and I took one pill. Almost immediately I got an itchiness in my skin, eventually a full fledged allergic reaction, including swollen, face, limbs and torso. I had to go to the emergency for treatment as benedryl did not help at all. It took about 1 week to recover.

I have been on benicar for 4 years. started on 20 mgs. Way too high I am on 5mg a day and it works great. This past aug, I started to develop a rash that looked like measles. I thought it was allergies. I am now 5 months w/ it every day and now it itches. Thought it was thyroid related but think the benicar is the culprit. I am allergic to sulpha so maybe that is a factor. It was great till now.

I have only been on Benicar for a couple of weeks, but I notice that I don,t feel well after I take it. After being on it a week my b.p dropped too low. It gives me a feeling of pressure in my head and around my eyes and I,m exhausted all the time. Don,t like the side effects at all.

Totally ineffective. All I get from this is constant headaches, tremors, itching and short term memory problems. I have had problems in the past with ACE inhibitors but Dr. did not seem concerned.

I have been on Benicar HCT for about 3 months and it has controlled the bp somewhat, but also increased my cholesterol and blood sugar.

i have been taking benicar for about 1 month. there is no difference in blood pressure. 140/96

very effective used many other blood pressure medication before settling with benicar.

160/110 to 122/78 in 3 weeks, works great
