I've been taking this med now for more than 10 years. It works very well, and I don't even know I'm taking it, other than dropping it in my weekly pill dispenser.

Comment:
I'm 59 yrs old and have been on Marcardis for over a month and have experienced 20 of the 47 listed side effects and most of the others require a blood test. Everyday I became more and more sick and my blood pressure dropped to 66/106 and my level of energy went away. I stopped taking it.
