Comment:
Have been on 300 mg Tekturna HCT for 11 months. Genetically predisposed. Noticed rash after 4 months. Attributed it to dry skin and chlorine. Hives and itching increased. Became almost unbearable. Loss of sleep. Went into anaphylactic shock 9/12/2011 and was taken to emergency room. Doc suspects allergic reaction to the drug.

Comment:
Due to certain allergies requiring epi-pens, I'm limited to which blood pressure medication I can take. I've been on calcium-channel blockers for about 18 mo and began having sollen feet, ankles and legs. My MD switched me to Tekturna and the systems stopped immediately and my blood pressure is now lower than with prior medications.
