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.

I had a reaction to this drug. Arms, face & chest turned scarlet red and burned and itched. Also, urine output was very much decreased. I only took for one day.

I've been on Prinzide 20-25MG for 6 months and it has been fabulous. When I started my blood pressure was 180/110. Within the first month's checkup, it was down to normal limits. A common side effect is a cough, which I did not have immediately but did experience a cough around 2-3 months of starting it, but it only lasted about a month and never really that disruptive.

I have been taking Diltaizem XT for about a year, but it was barely controllin my HBP. I started taking Prinzine (10-12.5) about 6 months ago and my BP is great! I had it checked the other day and it was 108/63! I coughed some at first, but that disappeared. No other problems.
