User Reviews for Tekturna oral

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.

I started this drug approximtely three years ago with great results.. lately, ( last year or so) I noticed my ankles swelling, puffy ankles-no problem.. Now the swelling is extending up my legs and my hands- to the point of skin color change due to consistant swelling... I also have developed kidney cysts and I think I am having tenden or ligament damage as I am having very painful mussel cramps or tightening in my calf... I am also seeing flashes of light from my pherifial vision...I'm done..at $50.00 monthly co-pay and the medical issues I described...it's time to get serious about eliminating all components that can cause High blood pressure...

tekturna HCT 150/25 afect sugar diabiets my sugar has been high since I started this meds

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.

Overall, I am satisfied.

this medication has worked for me. no dry mouth as other drugs like lisinopril had caused me.*****

Havig taken Benicar, Hytrin and lisinopril the combination of Tekturna and Diovan control my BP with very few side effects.Overall I am very saisfied with it after taking for approx. 2 yrs. I have noticed some minor sexual problems and my insurance company is complaining about the cost. Is there a Generic ?

The worst side effects of all the BP meds, Crippling joint and muscle pain. Sore throat, stomach pains. This drug should be taken off the market.

I've been taking this medication for over 2yrs. It controls my bp but has caused hair loss and sleepless nights, blurred vision and the latest moderate upper back pain.

it did not seem to help my blood pressure...I take 320 mg diovanHCT and even though i have been taking for 3 years my blood pressure still varies... the cpap machine helped more..

I just started the meds and they are doing great. My legs were swollen and now they are going down.

This medication has not lowered my bp at all. In fact, my bp has incresed alarmingly and I am returning to my doctor in a few days. I have previously been on many other medications for bp: norvasc, lotrel along with hcz at 25mg. Lotre caused a chronic unproductive cough as did other ace inhibitors. Additionally, I have a constant headache with Tekturna.

drug does not seem to lower pressure at all. per doctors orders I went of it cold turkey after 3-4 mo on it at 300mg daily and just did not work.
