Have been taking Approvel/300mg (1 each day) for almost 9 months now since Nov 2016. The doctor diagnosed HBP Stage 1,140â??159/90â??99. I noticed it helped but overall did not see significant change as the problem actually was with my low blood pressure. Last June I noticed a skin rush but thought maybe it was something I ate.

I've been taking this for a couple years now and it has lowered my BP nicely. I don't notice any serious negative side effects so this has been a wonderful find for me. I'm happy with the outcome the only negative is that I need to be near a bathroom in the morning as I have to go every 45 minutes or so.

It keeps my B/P under control however, side effects include vivid dreams and severe hair loss ( traumatic for a female).

The medication is controlling my BP but it most certainly is giving me abnormal dreams. I'm not aware of any impact on my waking perona, but my dream life is totally changed. This makes me wonder if it is affecting my mind somehow.

This is the only blood pressure medication (I have tried several) that actually lowered my blood pressure and helped with water retention.

Performance at lowering BP and reducing fluid retention in ankles was effective. Side effects of sexual dysfunction and perpetual tiredness were not acceptable so have since changed to Micardis Plus 40/12.5 Tiredness gone and the wife and I are both happier. Trade off is the BP is a couple of points higher but manageable.
