I'm not taking Tekturna, but weight gain or inability to lose weight are not reported as side-effects of the medication. http://www.rxlist.com/tekturna-drug.htm
If you can't lose weight I'd go to your doctor and ask for help with weight loss, perhaps a medication could help you lose weight without interfering with your hypertension.
You can also try another blood pressure med, like Adalat CC, which has weight LOSS as a possible side-effect. But if you're stable on Tekturna, it's likely that other factors are causing your inability to lose weight.

I have been watching what I eat and properly exercising. I have noticed extreme water retention (edema) with Tekturna. I also take Maxzide 75/50 as well.
I stayed off Tekturna for 24 hours as an experiment and noticed the water retention subsided and the swelling disappeared. I would hate to continue taking a medication that replaces all weight that I've lost with fluid inside my body. What would you suggest?
Hmm, since you tried stopping the med and the water retention stopped, I'd go the route of asking your doc to try a different med than Tekturna.
Thanks for your insight.
