This medication is very effective in lowering Blood Pressure. Mine was down to normal with one week. The side effects are something you need to adjust to. I am very tired by afternoon, and I do experience some light-headiness. But overall, this medication has been very effective in lowering my blood pressure.

On occasion, I have had this pill get stuck in my throat. I immediately drink lots of water, but my throat burns like fire, and sometimes the burning lasts for hours. My voice becomes hoarse and on one occasion, I lost my voice for most of the day.

Had to increase my first dose, but had started at smallest to see if it would work. Doubled my dose and it is working fantastic now!! BP at normal. Do get dizziness occasionally, fatigue a lot, and dry mouth with a super mild cough. I take my pills at night so I can just sleep through the worst of the dizziness. Now, as long as I am careful when standing or bending over, I am pretty much fine. Losing some weight and my doctor says we may be able to lower my dose soon. Not had any allergic type reactions, which is good because it is super easy for me to react to things.Read More Read Less

This drug has given me no side effects. I take the smallest dosage available and then take 1/2 tablet in morning and the other 1/2 at night. That seems to keep my blood pressure level.

Within two days I had terrible swelling of my upper lip. I went back to the ER and after a huge dose of Benadryl I finally looked normal again about 12 hours later.

I would like a medication that tastes better and isn't so small that I easily lose my pill.

This medication has lowered my blood pressure with only a slight increase in urination as a result. But it has only lowered it from a type to hypertension to a type 1. I am hoping that an increase in exercise will lower it further.

I suffered a VERY severe reaction to prinizide! It was frightful! My condition was diagnosed as angio-edema. My face, lips, cheeks were swollen nearly twice it's size. It seems it was an allergic reaction; SCARY!!
