The Dr. added this drug to the Losartan I am taking. Seems to be bringing my bp numbers down a bit more.

Thank you all you users of this HBP med. I have been wondering what was going on with my body once I took it. Reading your reviews I found several incidents that mocked mine experiences. I have a big fight with my PCP coming up!

Thank you all you users of this HBP med. I have been wondering what was going on with my body once I took it. Reading your reviews I found several incidents that mocked mine experiences. I have a big fight with my PCP coming up! I am allergic to penisilin (I don't know how to spell it You get the jist) and wondering why my face would swell and I would get shortness of breath suddenly and cramping toes, feet and hands!! Thank you so much for bringing this information to light. Now I have ammunition to fight with! Praise God, praise you all for your courage to speak out! I am not a test dummy or lab rat to be practiced on! I don't mind sharing a diagnosis with a student but these FDA approved sanctions...Got to go! YOU TRY THEM!! Thanks again. MET.

I was on it approximately 8 years. I began having bloating, stomach pain and diarrhea. I had several GI tests which were all negative. I kept researching this drug and found out I shouldn't have been taking it because I am allergic to penicillin. I kept going to my PCP and finally I asked him to take me off it. He didn't want to but I insisted. All my symptoms began going away within 24 hours. I am really disappointed in my doctor and have suffered immensely from this drug.
