Comment:
I have been taking atacand 16 mg for 3 months. After 2 months of taking this medication, I started to experience tension-like headache. The headache is getting more frequent and it comes with stiffness in the neck. I'm not sure if this is the side-effect.

A week after I started taking this medication I have been having back pains increasing in intensity. No trauma and no injury. Any one feeling the same?

Comment:
Totally ineffective at reducing my blood pressure. In fact, there is some indication it is counterproductive. It has probably lowered my pulse rate. No other side effects that I've been able to discern, though I was not on it long (less than a month).

Comment:
I am disgusted with this drug because there is no generic equivalent available in the U.S., and the price of this is med exorbitant. There is a generic equivalent, which I have used, available in Canada from a reputable pharmaceutical company in Japan.
