User Reviews for Diovan HCT oral

i feel more at ease.

taking for 3 months and this medication is causing me more problems than high blood pressure. My pressure is not being controled at all. (140/87) and was causing rapid heart rate and some anxiety with intestinal issues, stopped taking it and I am going back to Benicar HCT, which worked fine until my insurance co. decided they would not cover it anymore so my dr. put me on diovan hct just not working out for me, ALSO COST KEEPS INCREASING!!

No doctor should prescribe hbp medicine before engaging them in an exercise and cardiac diet as the first option.

I have been taking Diovan 160/25 for about 2 years now. At first I had not noticed what are now clearly the side effects of the medications.. light headedness, dizzy, joint pain, achy feeling, steady weight gain, new ichy rash as attributes of the meds.. other than I was feeling fine (if that can classifed as fine) BP was fluxuating between 140/110-90 to 110/70.. I have started exercising regularing, controling my diet and trying to lose some weight. My weight has not gone down, but seems to be going up despite all my best efforts. My husband recently experienced similiar reactions to other medications that he was taking - again, later discovered that the meds were causing the problem. I thought maybe this is my problem. I stumbbled across many of the same feelings and side effects.. I will be making an immediate appointment with the Dr. and getting off this stuff.. I often wonder why the drug manufacturers think that we will simply miss the ill effects in hopes for a greater benefit. I never thought this would be me.. I am hoping to get a sense of normal back.Read More Read Less

It has not been that effective;in fact my doctor is proposing to increase my dosage which i am trying to prevent from happening my changing my lifestyle. I also don't like the side effects as it makes me cough a lot.

high blood pressure.

I have leg pain. Can this drug be the cause?

generic should be coming out around Sept 2012

I have been taking diovan hct 320/25 for 3yrs and have recently had some allergic reactions to the med. My nose breaks out in pimples and the skin on my face is flushed.I also have the muscle cramps and severe dry mouth. The medication does work but isnt worth the side effects for me.

When regular Diovan was not lowering my BP the Dr started me on Diovan HCT 325/12.5 It lowered my BP and now I have chronic chest congestion, terrible flatulence and tiredness. Most recently my pharmacy had advised me that they cannot get this medicine and In had to get samples from my Dr. I asked if I could change to Hyzaar and he has not responded. I don't know what to do and I will run out of the samples soon.

I tried losartan for 1 yr and side affects came back bad. Diovan Hct was great but too expensive. Trying to get back to Diovan but when will there be generic? Help!!!!

Inherited High BP. For me, it has been a God-send....nothing has worked as well as this medicine. I make sure my weight and general health are good to excellent range and when I read about some of the side effects posted, I shake my head...Poor health management by the patient is usually to REAL reason folks like to blame the meds and not their personal choices and want quick fixes. Excercise and maintaining a low weight will fix 90% of your health problems. Take responsibility for what you put in your body and you will be bowled over as to how great you feel.Read More Read Less

this is the worst ever. I had terrible headaches, after three weeks of taking I could not walk very far. Terrible mustle pains in legs and arms. A heavy feeling in my legs. Jaw pain as well phyly tired, even pain in my eyes. I refuse to take it anymore. And since I stop I feel much much better.

It has worked to lower my blood pressure but it is very expensive and would like to find out about a possible generic for high blood pressure.

I was given this when my blood pressure was not controlled by any previous medications. I have a 190/110 rate. I have been on this for 3 years. Only issue is you have to drink enough fluids to keep from dehydrating. Yes, a few dizzy spells once in a while but all blood pressure meds come have that side effect. Just have to get use to them. It's important to take the same time each day. This has been the best medicine I have taken in 15 years since my blood pressure went out of control.

Expensive, is the only fault I have with diovan hct. Diovan hct has been an excellent product in servicing my health needs blood pressure etc.

diovan/hct worked fine. i am looking to change to the generic in order to save money. of losartan and valsartan, which is the generic?
