User Reviews for Diovan HCT oral

Have been on this drug for the past 5 years and has regulated my blood pressure to near perfect.No complaints.

Be careful of taking 320 mg it may drop your pressure too low.

I began taking Lisinopril (generic Diovan) about 10 years ago. After complaining of coughing up blood, I was switched to the name brand Diovan. Took Diovan for about 6 years and gained 60+ pounds. Had a hard time breathing, let alone exercising due to the weight gain and swelling. I also suffered two torn Achilles tendons. I am also on Synthroid for lack of a thyroid. Curious, I tried an experiment: what is my blood pressure WITHOUT Diovan? Guess what...no difference. Useless, expensive med that did me more harm than good. Read More Read Less

have taken this about 10 years now, when the generic came out, I received that, now am having,,, leg pain back pain, shooting pain up thru the bottom of my feet hair loss, wich was immediate on the non generic, dizzieness, and now on double amount and B/P has shot up,,, I was satisfied before it went generic , now I feel like hell, added Norvasc 5mg, still high so tried 10mg (with the diovan also) and I am so tierd , b/p up and down, this sucks

I took diovan hct for several years with no problems. Since being changed to Valsartin hct I've experienced dry eyes with light sensitivity as well as dry mouth.

Diovan HCT has been good for me. Insurance company changed me to the generic Valsartin hct which I feel I am having side effects, joint pain, dizziness, tingling. Has anyone had a flare up of gout?

I am taking 2 different blood pressure meds and pressure has been good for 9 years.

Was on Diovan HCT 320 for 5 years and it worked very well for me. No side effect issues and the BP was brought down from 160/110 to 125/82 within just a couple of months and leveled off there.

At one time,I was taking 320 MG and it affected my balance and sometimes felt dissy. As soon as the Urinologist change the dosage to 160 MG, the efects were gone ang my blood pressure had been controlled ever since.

What's with the plastic & foil packaging? Waste of time & material. BP is reduced but not enough, even after doubling dosage. In addition, I have to take Atenolol, too. Yes, I'm overweight & in my mid 50's. I have to fight to lose every pound and keep it off.

Has anyone developed an itchy rash while taking this medication? I have taken Diovn HCT 320/25 for the past 3 years, and have a severe rash on my back, hands, elbows and have developed puffy eyelids. I've gone to the dermatologist and had a biopsy and they attribute the rash to a drug interaction with the Diovan HCT.
