Comment:
I have taken this combo for 5 years. However, over the last year I started having joint pain in big toe, ankle and elbow. I now have gout which is due to a build up in uric acid from the Chlorthal part of the drug. My doctor switched me to just Atenolol but BP is now back up to 170/100. The gout may be permanent.

My sbp was always above 150 and dbp was over 90. Tried other meds, nothing worked for long. Started this medication 10 months ago with great results. No side effects so far other than frequent urination and that's slowing down. Now bp 120/88 or lower. Started exercising and walking 3x week for added benefit, gone salt-free too. Feeling much better, lost 20 lbs so far.

I was placed on amlodipine & valsartan combo. Pressurewould not come below 168/88. Atenolol 100mg/chlorthal 25 mg was added and pressure was reduced to 117/77. However, since taking this product I am experiencing ED. Did not have a problem before taking this medication.
