User Reviews for Edarbi oral

started edarbi 5 days ago due to weight gain from previous med. Gained 3 pounds in 5 days on Edarbi had severe pain in right side and lower back. Unable to sleep due to pain. Will call Dr. today and stop taking.

After many years of different drugs for high B/P without great success, doctor put me on 80 mg of edarbi. By the fifth day I was so weak I could hardly stand without holding on to something - incredible muscle fatigue with accompanying bouts of abdominal, back, and leg cramps/spasms. Six days later when it was still present and life altering, I phoned the doctor to report that I could not go on like this. She told me to take 1/2 tablet and monitor and let her know on Monday (a week from call) then she called back to say maybe it was the Paleo diet I was on. I did not believe that for a moment as I am eating healthier than I have in years. AND I saw the reports here of the same issues I was having. It brought my B/P down dramatically - even low - so it works on the issue, but if these awful side effects do not go away by reducing to 1/2 tab, I will refuse to stay on this medication.Read More Read Less

Blew my bp thru the roof. Prescribed when systolic was 160 range. Came off it after dose was doubled and bp by rose to 200/112 range necessitating an ER visit. Switched to Amlodipine and BP is now in 140 to 150/90 range. Edarbi = bad drug for me!

Have been in the red zone on the BP chart for years and have tried all kinds of meds to get my pressure down. I was part of the last test trial group. First response was I was dizzy because for the first time I had actual mid range BP. I have now been back on it with my first actual normal BP rating. This drug has saved my life by actually letting me get to a normal range. I figure the complaints have been because the blood pressure they where lowering was not that high. After years of being around 170 Systolic and very little time at the 130 range I would say again this drug has saved my life. With the increase in potassium from this drug for once I got to cut out the added RX to help with how many BP meds remove this from your system. I do get dizzy still but I have a lot of other health issues that now I do not have to include high BP to. I take it at bed time with and without food. Most doctors do not know about this medicine. I would recommend it for anyone with extremely high pressure but be careful if not. Read More Read Less

Have been taking for 3 weeks and also am experiencing Reynaud's syndrome which is not listed as a side effect. Noticed one other person also listed this side effect.

I have been taking Edarbi 80mg a day for about 6 months along with 2 other BP drugs. When my doctor started me on Edarbi my BP returned to a normal level within a couple of days and the hard pounding sensation I had with my heart went away. I have been on many different BP medications over the years but this is the only one that has satisfied me and my doctor. I currently take 80mg Edarbi, 10mg Amlodipine, 150mg Toporol. The Edarbi is the only one of these medications BCBS of Florida will not pay for and it works the best.Read More Read Less

this medication has worked great for me. I was hospitalized 3 times in 3 months with high blood pressure. Nothing worked. My dr put me on edarbi and my blood pressure is perfect.

This is the 8th drug now I have been given to try to reduce my high BP. Worked finally after about 2 weeks. But then I started to get severe joint and muscle pain, starting in my most used joints ( driving leg knee, and left shoulder- I am left handed) Also sometime uncontrolable bowel movements. Came off as an experiment, and symptoms subsided within 2 days. Went back on and almost immediatly soreness came back. I guess its back to the drawing board......

helps but Edarbi alone does not lower Blood pressure enough

Been on the medication for 4 weeks. Effective at reducing my high blood pressure. I takes so many other meeds its hard to tell the side effects. I have experenced light headedness and fatigue but nothing I cant work through. I have sleep apnea and I am also a COPD patiant. So far I am pleased with the results. I have been using samples from the doctor and sence has precribed 40 mg daily. If anything changes, I will re-rate the product. I am 56 years old and 230 lbs, I do not excersize and I dont diet. I work 10-12 hour days and drink 2-3 oz of bourban nightly. I know bad habit. My gole is to drop the weight so I dont have to take this. I have been suffering high BP for only 3 months. Hope this helps. Read More Read Less

Two weeks on. 175/108 bp so just not working for me. My hopes were high, but back where I started. There has to be something......

I have been using this for two yrs and it works great. I now only take 10mg once a day and it seems to be leveling out but doctor should take me off in a few months. I have lost 30+ lbs and work out five days a week and will be 60 soon.....

Edarbi worked amazingly well to reduce my extremely high blood pressure and I have experienced zero side effects. I would recomment anyone with high blood pressure to ask their doctor to try this treatment.

I have developed quite painful reynaud's syndrome since taking this drug and wonder if anyone else has. it is not listed as a side effect.

this has been much better than my original Rx. unfortunately my insurance forces me to choose a different Rx - losartan - starting 1/1/14. never had a problem, and bp is at all time low.

it lowered my blood pressure drastically, I have to reduce the dosage (80 mg) twice to achieve a reasonable BP (120/70)

My Dr. gave me this medicine knowing full well I have renal stenosis and kidney stent. My BP shot up real figh, my heart was palpatating and more. I nearly was killed by this medicine. I am writing to the FDA about it!!!!

Very good For controling high blood pres. sure beatería tan Andy other medicine THAT i have taken

BP went from 165/110 to 128/88 within a week. A little light-headed but worth it v. high blood pressure.

Taking Edarbi for 5 months. I have have been light headed and dizzy most of the time. The last few have had chronic diarrhea. I also have had trouble with BP becoming very low.
