I was on an ace inhibitor & had nighttime cough so hard to go to sleep, was on a beta blocker and was so tired I felt fatigue all day, took this ARB and felt alert and no cough.

I was on the label Atacand for years and loved it. I take 32 mg a day and am suppose to cut it in half and take it twice a day. The pill shatters even with a pill cutter. The lethargy is terrible, looking for something else.
