User Reviews for Tekturna oral

I am taking Tekturna 150mg HCT 12.5mg for about 4 weeks now. My blood pressure remained at 130 to 140 range. My hair is thinning noticeably and my fasting glucose is higher now at 128-134 range. Previously, my fasting glucose was from 98-108.I exercise daily and watch my diet, with emphasis on vegetables and fruits. Are these side effects due to Tektuna?

It took about two weeks for it to lower my BP. Have taken for several months with good result on 150mg taken in AM. No adverse side effects noted with use.

I have been on Tekturn for one year now. Began with 150 and now up to 300mg. Noticed water retention in feet and legs immediately, but hoped it would get better. The last few months I have experienced "arthritis-like pain in my joints, especially my fingers, knuckles and knees -- very painfully (almost debilitating). Have experienced some hair loss and thinning also. Am contacting my doctor this week to attempt to come off this med and find something else. It has brought my BP down, but I now cannot deal with all these side effects! Took Cozaar for years with no side effects, but it got to the point it was not controlling my BP as well as my doctor hoped.Read More Read Less

This is the 6th medication I have been on and the first one that has worked. Has anyone experienced increased libido? My husband swears that my sex drive has increased since I started taking Tekturna. He is not complaining and neither am I, but I wondered whether anyone else has experienced this? My Dr. said that he doesn't have enough people on it to make a study.

I have been taking Tekturna for two weeks and my BP has been coming down. However I have been aching all over, had indigestion and have been more tired than uaual. Not sure if I want to continue.

I am excessively tired and have muscle aches accompanied with frequent defication (infrequent but irritating sepage of liquid waste through layers of clothing). I feels as if I have an endless head cold: cough, runny nosy, frequent sneezing and an itchy throat. This is my third attempt with this medication

Blood pressure is 195/100,just started taking 150 today. Will keep you posted on progress and side effects

I have experienced slow heart rate, heaviness in my chest, it has slowed my ability to think clearly, and given flu like aches.

Blood pressure still high. Today, 154/100. Started Tekturna 150mg, than 300mg now 300mg with 125mg hydrochlorazide? I have to give it three weeks. I also get pains in my lower left side of back.

My blood pressure went up consistly from day and by day three I started to have chest pains so I quit this drug went back to my former perscription.

since i have been taking it i have felt more tired and sick to my stomach. it has helped my blood pressure get lower

BP went from 140/90 to 118/75 so the results are good.I ride my bicycle about 100 miles a week and have noticed my average speed down a little since on this med.Other than some early fatigue no problems.

Im on toprol xl 200mg, lotel, 5-40mg, hydrochlorot. a water pill, 25mg, plus tekturna 150mg. before taking tekturna, my bp was riding about 170/100. Dangerous numbers.I started taking tekturna to the list of meds, it took two months before I notice a change in bp. its now 119/68. But I get a sore feeling on the left side by my kidney. My liver test has been coming up high readings. Im scared what its doing to my liver, my kidney test has been find. No other meds have brought my bp down like tekturna has, I guess this is the last resort for me, need to speak more to my doctor about the liver issue. Read More Read Less

I have just started takeing this new perscription for tekturna 150mg.After 2 days I notice swelling of my legs and ankles.Is this considered a serious side affect or just my body adjusting to a new medication.It is the weekend and couldnt contact my md.

tekturna works for me,my bp is 114/62 before it was 190/97. no side effects.

been taking medication for 3wks have noticed severe itching, swelling in face, lips, feel like tongue is swollen, fatigue, loss of memory

i have been on tekturna for almost 1 year and my blood pressure is 115/68 it was 155/100 before i took this drug. my doctor was very smart.

I take two medications at bedtime - Tekturna and Pravastatin. Within 30 minutes I have paid in my upper abdomen, like an ulcer. Could either of the medications cause abdominal pain? Also, I have noticed blood in my stool.

I have been gaining weight and realized that it started right after I changed from Lotrel to Tekturna. I would consider that an undesirable side effect for any drug but especially one for blood pressure.

My pressure remains 140's/90-106.
