User Reviews for Zestoretic oral

Not sure if food or fruits have negative interaction, however, was not able to sleep for two days after drinking a pineapple smoothie

Since I taking this medication I gained (over a year) almost 50 pounds!. I was constantly hungry, tired and coughing a lot. It helped with my bloodpressure which is aorund 149/100 w/out meds.

I am experiencing excessive coughing, what does one do? My Dr.only prescribed something else that my insurance will not cover, there has got to be a better answer. HELP

i started taking this medicine in early December and since then my pressure has been normal but i developed a chronic cough, so bad that i makes me wake up out of my sleep and sometime throw up. my doctor changed and just put me on CTZ 25mg and dropped the lisinopril

I am experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness when I take this medication.

I started on this med because HBP 210/104 and very swollen legs. After two weeks of feeling very sick, blurred vision and chest pain, I ended up in ER. I was admitted for 5 days, Angiogram, stress testing. Ended up with BP of 86/52 AVG and had many bags of IV fluid ran in to up blood volume. Taken off med and bp went to normal after the iv fluid and DC of this drug. I wanted to break my husbands neck, this drug made me so angry and raised my BS to 496. I am now off the drug, on Insulin, I can see again, and I am no longer feeling like a witch.It did not work for me, it did lower the BP but the diarreha and sore joints and everything that happened just scared me off. I am to switch to plain Lisinpril and HTZ seperate and I'm scared to even fill the scrips. I think for those this works for, Yay! For me, NO.Read More Read Less

The original version of this drug without the mix was made by Merck 20 years ago. It was hawked as a bp drug with no side effects. They were right. It lowered my bp and had none of the usual male side effects of ED and being tired all the time. Everything worked fine. Once the generic came out lots of people started to switch to it because it was cheaper. I, and many others found that the generic made me tired and the original did not. There are several cases where individuals sued their HMO to get the original. I just pay the extra. It's much cheaper than it use to be, especially if you use a Canadian Pharmacy. My doseage has gone up and the doc added the dual version pill with hydrochlorothiazide which is just a water pill additive and it still works fine. I'm now 65 and my bp is 130 over 80. I've been on it a long time and I'm doing fine, but I don't on the generic version and never have. noelvmRead More Read Less

Constant coughing to the point of vomiting

what is the side effect of zestoretic?

I have been on zestoretic 20mg for a month now and I have not seen an improvement. My blood pressure is still high 160/110. I suffer from terrible side effects such as headache, dizzy spells and insomnia. I am thinking of switching to amlodipine.

Have been sick to my stomach since week 2, pain in upper ab, tired, and BP went way low, have been switched to just the HCTZ hopefully I'll feel better soon, I have lost 34 pounds in 4 mo due to being sick at stomach constatly.

I have been able to control my high blood pressure very effectively by continueing use of lisinopril 20-25 tablets. Others were not as affective and proved to have adverse side affects, Such as rash, itching and dry mouth.

I am on 20-25mg and it has worked perfectly. The only sideeffect I have noticed is frequent urination.

I am 26 and had moderately severe hypertension (190/110) and it was really affecting my anxiety... when my blood pressure went up, so did my anxiety. After numerous trials with other BP meds, I was put on this combo. I am taking the 10-12.5 dosage. Worst side effect for me is tingling of my hands and sometimes feet. My hands seem to fall asleep in any position above my heart after 10 seconds or so. It's pretty annoying, especially when just laying around. BP and hear rate are completely normal, however!

The problem is that pharmacies keep changing manufacturers and each new one makes the drug appear different. For example, the manufacturer that I last used was Lupin Limited which I found out was located in India, which really blew my mind. NOw it has changed, mostly because I changed pharmacies to the manufacturer, Watson and I have no idea where they are located. Lupin Ltd. put their tablets in a child-proof plastic sleeve which was somewhat safer but more difficult to get the tablets out. Those tablets have, for the past 10 years been a yellowish brown color. These new tablets made by WAtson are blue. Same strength. This is extremely confusing to people, especially older people. There should be some consistency in drugs, especially the color.Read More Read Less
