Comment:
After taking this medication for 4 years, developed an allergic response and broke out into many red bumps that 2 weeks later developed into a full "Guttate psoriasis" flare. Stopped medication and 5 weeks later the psoriasis is receding.

Comment:
For some reason the pill, though small, is hard to swallow without water. I use periodically and it takes only a few days to drop my blood pressure. If I lose weight and am skinny my b.p. gets lower, and taking these pills drop it too low and I get a little dizzy at times. I overweight, no issue. Been using for many years now and everything seems to be fine.
