Common Questions and Answers about Tekturna hct side effects

tekturna

Avatar n tn A loss of taste side effect from Tekturna is quite common, about a third of users. Maybe your Doctor could try a different medication to see if there are any changes. You need to enjoy your food, and there are plenty of ways/medications to help control blood pressure. You shouldn't need to make such a big sacrifice as not enjoying your meals.
Avatar f tn I've been on Benicar HCT 40/12.5 for 3 years, it's the only BP med I've been on and it has worked wonders with no side effects. My BP is down to 110/70 from 150/90 and as I said, I have had absolutely no side effects to date. For me, it's a great med, but maybe not for you. There are many to choose from, just keep working with your doctor to find the one that works best for your situation.
1260320 tn?1270394906 My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!
Avatar f tn You may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, or tiredness as your body adjusts to the medication. You may also experience diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or cough. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: unusual thirst, weakness, confusion, fainting, fast heartbeat, decreased sexual ability.
Avatar m tn If you have question, discuss it with your pharmacist, and your doctor, esp. if you are having side effects of unusual symptoms.
478554 tn?1208034407 I did consult with an Ayurvedic Doctor, who prescribed some compounds, non toxic, no side effects. They usually go to the root cause, and will prescribe more than one compound since all systems are involved or most. Mine did prescribe some, but I can't remember which ones. It worked, but I became allergic and stopped. Meanwhile, I am seeing a Medical Qi Gong practitioner, lost 25 lbs in two months, and keep loosing water. I am no longer puffy and water logged.
Avatar m tn I am pretty constipated sometimes even after as much water I drink. I have been reading alot on the diovan hct side effects and come to find out that all of my problems are from it. I am going to have to find a new bp medicine. I sincerely thank you for your time to reply.
1356964 tn?1302087435 Vet is suggesting epogen but I have read Epogen can have side effects and can quit working for an animal anywhere from 1-4 months of treatment. I am enquiring about an iron supplement to try first instead of injections, b/c her HCT has not follow under 20 as of yet . Vet said it was not at crucial stage as of yet so would an iron supplement be ok to try right now , of course with the ok of her vet ?
Avatar n tn I have bronchial asthma and every blood pressure medicine I have taken causes a constant cough and wheezing. Are there any medications I can take that doesn't cause these side effects? I have tried ToProl, Lisinipril, Tekturna, and now am on Verapamil Extended Release.
Avatar m tn I am on Benicar HCT 40/20 mg as well, it is a great drug and has almost no side effects. You make it sound like you may be having some anxiety attacks as a result of your experience. One of the things you get with anxiety attacks is a release of adrenaline which can cause flushing on the face, back and upper torso, it's very common and most likely causing your issue. Try to stay calm and mention the anxiety to your doctor as they can treat that with meds as well.
Avatar f tn I am very chilled and body aches. Has anyone else on this treatment had these side effects and what did your doctor advise. I go see my doctor at the transplant center Friday. Thanks so much.
Avatar n tn Hi, I had a second ablation about 9 months ago and it apparently was successful because I have been in normal sinus rhythm since then. the problem I'm experiencing is with my heart rate. since the ablation proceedure my heart rate elevated to 100-110 bpm. my EP prescribed cardizem cd and it is keeping it under control now. the side effects are what's causing me problems. my toes and lower legs are feeling numb.
2073790 tn?1335305414 I was wondering about the progression of side effects during treatment, if the sides are mild during the first few weeks do they stay mild or can the sides get increasingly worse during the duration? I am now on week 4 of interferon/ribavirin for 24 weeks. I have heard things get more difficult and was wondering what to expect. I understand the sides can really vary from person to person. When do blood counts typically drop? This riba rash I keep hearing about when does that typically show up?
Avatar f tn Also, may want to look into your lab reference ranges on the HGB/HCT- I believe the min. is 39 HCT and 12 HGB.
Avatar n tn Keep in mind I am not a doctor. Medications all have side effects. You need to talk to your doctor and see if he could somehow cut your long list of meds down to a narrower field. also your trainer should also know that when you have what we call stomach flab, as you lose weight this skin takes longer to tighten because the weight of the fat cells causes sag initially makeing it harder to lose weight in our mid sections.
Avatar f tn Hey all...Has anyone had chest and throat tightness as a side? Is it possibly a sign of worsening anemia? I'm due on Wed to get next labs done. (1 week since last ones that showed a sudden drop in HCT, WBC, and slighly in HGB..) Anemia sides still the same..(Out of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue with minimal activity, occasional dizzies, etc...)...Should I move up lab draw? (Starting week #4...first vl Wed!) I'm confident it isn't a heart attack or anxiety...
Avatar f tn I have had very little side effects after that first week of treatment. My new blood test show that my ALT 330(H) and my AST 235(H) have gone down but my viral load really is down 60.5 % it is now 222,000. Would you consider that promising after just four weeks?
Avatar m tn I have Crohn's disease and after a week of bloody diarrhea my HGB was 14.9 my HCT 44.5 and my RBC 4.68. Also ESR and CRP normal. I had a CBC and now my HGB is 16.6 HCT 46.4 RBC 4.90 and ESR of 5mm/hr. Does that mean that my drop in cbc was from losing blood rather than iron or b12/folate deficiency since now that bleeding resolved i have good values? Also i had total cholesterol of 219 but my triglycerides was 71! Is this fat malabsorption?
Avatar f tn Hopefully, your reaction was not due to the drugs,and that the ill effects you experienced can be chalked up to coincidental timing with your first dose. Good luck on your next attempt.
Avatar m tn I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Avatar f tn Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.
