Comment:
Has reduced my blood pressure to about 110/70, no major side effects, no cough like my first meds, actually decreased my dose... just a bit of a chore to get into the blister pack. There is a discount from your deductible (20) per month for a year from the company, ask your doctor.

Comment:
It has worked well to control my HBP. My only concern is when I exercise or go up stairs. By the time I reach the top of 40 steps it feels like my chest is going to explode. Other than that it has worked great.
