User Reviews for Cartia XT oral

I have been in this med for over 12 years, it completely controls my irregular heartbeat without the need for surgery. I am so grateful for this med it was after trying several! I prefer the white/orange pill there are a few generics but this one is best for me. No side effects to speak of.

I am taking 120 mg daily along with Olemarsartan 40 mg. The blood pressure seems to have gone down some but I am very lethargic and don't have the enery I had before started taking this medicine. My hair also has thinned out all of a sudden. Don't know if that is causing the hair loss, but, have noticed thinning since I started taking this drug. Considering trying something else or just going with the Olemarsartan

Makes me a little sleepy but this has gotten better as the weeks progress. Muffled, yet high pitched tone in my ears right after I take. Goes away, though. Blood sugar levels are elevated. Blood pressure slightly lower

Had angina when jogging. Diagnosed with endothelial dysfunction and put on Cartia XT daily. Went jogging first day, no problem! No side effects. Very pleased.

I was prescribed this medication for high blood pressure along with HCTZ the medication was 180 mg I noticed that I was having palpitations feeling sick tired week nightmares and I developed a rash this was I have headaches I feel dizzy over a eight month span. I looked up the side effects and I had most of them I stopped taking the medication.

I have had an allergic reaction.

Cardio Dr. switched me to help with extreme hand pain in the winter from the cold. Takes care of my high b.p. and high heart rate. Works like a charm.

wondering if anyone else has experienced a more than usual hair loss.

I have just started this medication within the last 3 weeks and so far it seems to be doing some good. I feel extreamly tired most of the time. Will write again after I've been using it longer.

It definitely lowered my pressure, but the side effects was bad swelling of the ankles and hands. Also caused nightmares. I had to switch to a new drug because the swelling was just too bad.

Prescribed to take a little pressure off my enlarged heart. Only took one - 120/24 hr with terrible results. Felt terribly weak, depressed and almost unable to function. Never took the second one. Went back to Amlodipine.

My doctor prescribed this to lower my heart rate? I have been on it for 8 days with no slower heart Rate.

For about a year now I have had cold chills around my torso.back very bad chills.i stopped takeing this med. and after 4 days it's almost gone.i feel great .will not take it again.the HCTZ is controlling my pressure just fine by it self

It has lowered my bp to normal again,just have a weird strong heartbeat,that feels irregular at times.I also have headaches more often,and dry mouth.Is the jittery feeling a side effect? Also some chest heavinesss. I also take celexa.Wish I could switch to something else.

After a month, there has been no change in BP. Still 140 /80 which frankly, I don't think is so bad. Same before & after this drug.

I was prescribed Cartia XT for PVC's induced by exercise after 30+ min of cardio. Also at my first visit to Cardiologist, my blood pressure was 170/95. highest ever! I had not been diagnosed with HBP prior. Was at other Dr's a week prior twice and each time blood pressure was good- 130/72. I was prescribed 120 mg once daily to start to address both issues. I am overweight and out of shape but hey i had committed to my exercise regimen, only to be plagued with PVC's everytime...i kept exercising though. I noticed slight headache and tiredness soon after taking Cartia then noticed after 4 hrs it seemed to wear off. As far as my bp and PVC's, it did absolutely nothing- in fact, i seemed more on edge and the PVC's came on earlier than my usual 30 minutes into exercising. I had been doing cardio 5-6 times a week,for about 2 mos starting off at 30 mins/350 cal, built up to 55 min/900 cal. I only had these PVC's when exercising for prolonged time. had holter monitor echo/stress test, which were good, but the problem doesnt happen til 30 mins of continuous exercise and will continue as long as i continue to exercise. I took Cartia for a week. it didnt seem to help and i was getting pvc's MORE often. Like i said, no change in bp or Pvc's. Seems like its not at all extended release... exercised 2 hrs after taking it and still no difference in bp or pvc's. i have a knee injury and stopped taking cartia and now no pvc's at all. I was hoping this medicine would help but not after a week. maybe i should have tried it longer?Read More Read Less
