I have spent many years trying to find a med that worked to control my blood pressure, but they were either ineffective or had unacceptable side effects. Finally, with Avalide my blood pressure is under control and I don't find that it hinders my very active lifestyle at all.

I began taking Avalide for my blood pressure and I will NEVER take these again. My heart was racing, it made me tired and it also gave me severe muscle cramps. These pills also made me feel like I was almost losing my mind. It never lowered my BP. If anything they made things worse. From looking at other reviews these pills are not so good. The doctor switched me back to Atenolol just a higher dosage and my heart rate returned to normal and I feel myself again.

I was very satisfied with the drug until I was admitted in the hospitl on Jan 17, 2010 for pancreatitis due to this medication. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days with severe abdominal and back pain. I was taken off the medication and placed on something else. I never want to experience this again.

Switched from Hyzaar because of cost but have experienced ED and loss of libido despite taking Cialis, watching diet and exercising regularly. Will ask my doctor to switch me back or try another drug.

I might get an upset stomach if I take it with water early in the morning. That is the reason why I have gotten used to taking it after breakfast or with juice.
