I have diabetes and take 25 mg am and 25 mg at bedtime as prescribed by physcian. It seems to keep the BP pretty well under control.

Before cozaar my BP was 190/150. After a month of cozaar my BP was just measured at the doctors office as 190/150. My body defeated cozaar! You people making all these comments about your lowered BP should be embarrassed. I am proud I defeated cozaar and ashamed you didn't!

it definetly has brought my bp down to avg 120's/70's from 150'3/80&90 along with some catapres, but when dose went from 75mg/day to 100mg I have begun to feel 1 leg muscle pain/low bk pain and a few joints pain. Don't have those problems normally only on bp meds;some days better than others so I tolerate.

From time to time I have a dry cough and wonder if this drug could be the cause of it. Seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Have been on this medication 5+ years.
