I was just informed by my pharmacist that there is now a generic option for this medication. Just wanted to share this as an update to my original post.

Been on 40mg Lisinopril and 10mg Amlodipine and consistantly had bp of 160/110 after 3 years of this and constant headaches daily a new doctor added Veralan. Instantly my headaches were gone and 2 week after starting my bp was down to 138/80. I wish i was introduced sooner!! Even if just for the headaches going away.

I have never had an adverse reaction in the 10yrs. I have taken it-- I take it in the PM with 4 other prescriptions with no problems-- The only side effect is-- it makes you sleepy thats why it says PM--

This drug, in combination with Lisinopril (subsituted for Zestoretic), has been an effective treatment for my high blood pressure. I have had no noticeable side effects with this medicine to date. To my knowledge, there is no current generic for this prescription so it costs a bit more, but it has been worth it for me.
