I HAVE BEEN TAKING VALTURNA 300/320 FOR ABOUT A MONTH AS SO FAR SO GOOD. I HAVE NONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS THAT I HAD WITH OTHER BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS I'VE TAKEN.

Valturna is being taken off the market as of July 20, 2012. Studies show is to be dangerous to take. Search valturna recall on the internet.

I feel like a sloth and am having severe pain in my lower back and both legs on down to my feet. I am having trouble walking even short distances. I'd rather have a heart attack.

I take this once a day at night as it sometimes will cause light drowsiness. It with my other BP med brought me into the normal range for the first time in 3 years. No other side effects.

THIS DRUG IS EASY TO USE AND NO OBVIOUS SIDE EFFECTS.IT KEEPS MY BLOOD PRESSURE LOWER THAN BEFORE TAKING IT, BUT NOT AS LOW AS IT SHOULD BE.

I have been on valturna for 1week and now I have a dry cough, swollen legs and tingling sensation in right leg. Headache and nausea with feeling of throwing up, stomach aches and cramps, my urine smells too. I am getting off this med before it kills me. I can't believe that for one medical issue, I would end up gaining multiple negative reaction from 1 drug, so much for preventive medication.

Thanks to my drug prescripyion plan I was switched to Valturna from Avapro. I also take amlodipine. After taking Valturna for 2 days my blood pressure fell to 97/51. I cut the dose in half and after 2 days my blood pressure went to 188/89. Going to try the full pill again and see what happens. If pressure falls as it did in the beginning I will be dumping 90 day supply in the toilet. My thought now is, it's a shame the drug companies use the unsuspecting public a guinie pigs.
