I've been on this since December. It's done very well in lowering my BP. I've also lost 18 pounds!! I have some tiredness, and I'm urinating a lot! Drinking lots of water too! Maybe why I'm losing the weight!

My blood pressure is still high at 138/90. I am going to see if I can change to a different medication.

I was taking Diovan HCT 320/25mg and the one dose daily wasn't controlling my BP through the day. I now take Exforge HCT 5/160/12.5 twice a day and my BP runs about 126/68-70. I feel so much better. I was diagnosed with PVC's several years ago after starting BP meds. I still have those, so I suspect the med is causing some of it. All heart tests came back negative, otherwise.
