I've been on this medication for 5 years and was initially given it to counter the effects of another BP med that I no longer need. It does work in keeping my BP in a normal range. Side effects - frequent and urgent urination (that's the diuretc at work) and lightheadness if I have a very trying day at work, but overall the side effects are not bad. My only problem recently is being able to get the prescription filled. Seems the manufacture was having some distribution issues.

Was the best medicine ever. Took at bedtime each night. NO SIDE EFFECTS!! Considering I am allergic to alot of medicine it was great to find something that worked. Why would you remove from sale something that works so well????

Avalide works great for me. Why has it been recalled by the manufacturer?

Have been taking Avalide for over a year and it has completely brought my high blood pressure within normal limits. NO side effects....Just a wonderful medicine.

Tried probably 9 other HBP meds before finding Avalide. Works on my BP well! No side effects except extreme heat sensitivity, and cannot attribute positively to drug.

Thank heavens for Avalide! When I first found out I had high blood pressure I was dizzy and on occasion blacking out for a few seconds, once I took Avalide for a few days I felt like a million bucks! I didn't feel tired, I have energy and never get dizzy.
