User Reviews for Tekturna HCT oral

I am no longer on thisdrugit made my potassium level rise dramatically.

med worked great, however ended up have severe pain in side, after $$$$$ worth of tests found out it was affecting my liver. stopped drug, liver now normal

I have been on this medication for at least a month .I have experienced moments of sweating so bad i have to change my underwear. some lightheaded feeling a little faint.that last about 10 min. other than that OK. bp always seem to elevate whenever i go to the Dr.also have a sweet taste that comes and go in my mouth.don't know whats that's about.

Have only been on medication 3 weeks blood pressure has come down some. hoping a little more time will bring it down more.

I had lots of erratic bp. Would spike to 190/90 on some days. Tried Tekturna for 10 days with some benefit. Added Benicar & bp reduced to 135/70 & has stayed down for 9 months. I do have a marked loss of energy, however & wonder if the drugs are the cause? Dosage is 150mg Tekturna & 20 mg Benicar .

I took this drug in hopes of lowering my bp. After two weeks I suffered bouts of dizziness so severe I coud not stand up. I discontinued use.

I had a severe reaction! I started itching all over...thought it was nerves. Then I started turning yellow. I had to be hospitalized twice. This stuff is very, very dangerous! My liver stopped functioning. It took a while off of this drug for my liver to go back to normal. Please do not try this drug!! I wish only to save anyone from going through what I went through. I missed more than a month of work and don't know if there is any long term damage to my liver or other organs. Please tell your doctor that you don't want this drug....there are plenty of other medications that control blood pressure...you don't need to take this one.Read More Read Less

I have been having very dibilitating muscle cramps in legs at night with this medicine. Been on it about a year now blood pressure is still a little high, I take 300 mg and norvasc 10mg but the leg cramps are getting sevier, also had sevier pain in my left side has anyone else expierenced this? can't take it anymore, I am going to try and get my Dr to change medicine.

Have used this medication for 2 months, very pleased! Immediately lowered my bp, awesome diuretic, no other side effects.

I have been on Tekturna for almost one year. No major side effects, and my blood pressure is back to normal ranges.

My BP seems to be higher Than usual

Seems to have lowered BP, but losing a few pounds would probably also work. Main difficulty is that for about 8 hours after I take this drug, if I crouch down and then stand up, I am so dizzy, I can barely keep my balance. this lasts 30-60 seconds and then goes away. It is annoying, but manageable. That is the only time I experience a difficulty. Getting up from a lying down or sitting down position does not produce the same effect....only getting up from a crouch.

Female 59 Been taking this drug for 3 weeks, my bp has gone way UP!. I was really hoping for this drug to work.:(

was om 300 12.5 after three days fainted and had to have a iv to get bp back up be careful on this one

A REAL diuretic!!! Especially the first 24 hrs. BP dropped dramatically and edema from feet and ankles lessened noticably.

Tough start for about two weeks; did not sleep soundly and some skin eruptions. However, after two weeks everything settled down. BP down from 196 to 142. Been on it three months. Be patient; it takes a while.

My doctor switched me from Lisinopril to Tekturna.What a disaster!BP went up instead of down.In just a few days it shot up to 180/120.Also messed up my heartrate.This junk is dangerous & should be taken off the market.If anyone should try Tekturna, be very careful, check your BP EVERDAY!After 8 days of this crap I went back on Lisinopril & BP is normal again.
