User Reviews for Exforge HCT oral

I’ve been taking exforge hct 5/160/12.5 for 3 years. My blood pressure has been at it best sometimes going too low 99/68 or 106/65. Lately I noticed my heart rate is low. Anyone experienced low heart rate on exforge hct?

I’ve been on numerous bp medications over the last decade, with numbers that were constantly stage 2 and hypertensive crisis levels and this is the one med that has truly worked in bringing my bp within the normal range.

Affective use lowers my BP in a hurry. I will go to urine no holding for long go go go. Libido has its challenges but lasts longer in action.

The medication brought my BP down, but I experienced severe side-effects. Swelling of ankles, extreme tiredness, dizziness, joint pain to such an extent that it became difficult to walk, constant mild headache, constant sore throat and cough, weight gain around the belly - and total loss of libido. My cardiologist suggested that i take the drug a night. This helped for the dizziness, but all the other symptoms continued. Today, my dr prescribed a different treatment.

My pre exiting medications weren't working. The doc prescribed these and made me take one in the office. I got home 2 hours later. My BP had fallen from 170 to 119. So far so good

After 3 1/2 years pressure is low and I wake up everynight with extremely low or high pressure.

Feeling extremely tired, weak, tightness in chest, feelings of sadness, severe low back pain, twitching muscles. BP still 140's over 90's, seeing the doctor tomorrow am to change meds.

Started with Hypertension Emergency; First treatment: Beta Blocker, ARB, Diuretic. Became intolerant of the Beta Blocker. Second treatment: After informative discussion, began ExForge HCT. Follow Up: ExForge HCT rapidly return blood pressure to pre-hypertensive Emergency. Have not experienced side effects. Reflection: Have been on ExForge HCT for two months. Medical compliance is greater due to factors: One pill eliminates three pills with their varied times of day dosage for better compliance. Psychologically, taking less pills equates to better health.

bp from 140- 92 to 125-73

I have gone from Hypertension 2 down to normal very quickly. This is the only mediation that has proven to be affective for me.

Wonderful blood pressure readings - lowest in 10 years. However, my ankles were so swollen I could not wear tennis shoes, heart rate up, red splotchs on my legs. I had to stop using it and it broke my heart! Now I am back to yo-yoing bp drugs!
