Initial studies of Tekturna have shown it lowers blood pressure in most people with few side effects.
Tekturna is effective
in all groups, but appears to be slightly less effective
in blacks. The most common side effect observed so far has been diarrhea, which has developed in about 2 percent of those taking Tekturna. In rare cases, those taking Tekturna can develop an allergic reaction that can cause swelling of the face and difficulty breathing.
