My twin brother was taking this medicine for about two months, while I was taking benicar with no side affects. After those two months he experienced alopecia as a side affect from it, this is when you lose all the hair on your body. His doctor told him to immediately discontinue taking Diovan oral. Now he's waiting for the bald spot in the back of his head to grow back.

Since my local pharmacy has been replaced with Kinney Drugs my 80mg is no longer treating my condition. A good friend has also needed her prescription changed to get her pressure under control. Today my BP is 190/90 and next week I'll return to my Dr. Has many experienced any med problems like ours?
