User Reviews for Tekturna

I love this medication. This is the first time in almost five years that my doctors have been able to get my blood pressure under control. On average, my BP is 180/100 and I am constantly getting new medications to take. After just two days of this medicine my BP was 120/80. Thank you Thank you Thank you

I have been unable to control my blood pressure for about 10 years. When I began taking Tekturna my BP dropped to 117/62 from 176/114. I have had some side affects - nausea, stomach ache, sneezing, runny nose, but it is hard to tell whether is was from the medication or just a virus.

I love this medication. I was taking Lisinopril and got horrible headaches and my BP wasn't going down. I've been taking this and I don't get the headaches and my BP is down.

I've been on this medicine for 3 days and my blood pressure has dropped from 180/110 to 112/79. The side effects for me are watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose.

Been on it for 6 weeks. Has helped stabilize my blood pressure and works well with the other blood pressure medicines I take. Side effect are dizziness - best taken at bedtime.

Best thing since sliced bread. Got my blood pressure down. No side effects and covered on my insurance. It works great. Thanks to this company for making a winner

Great medication for high blood pressure.

I'm a 41 year old black male, and this worked for me when nothing else would. No side effects at all. Taken along with a regimen of Niacin, Grape Seed extract, fish oil and mega-doses of vitamin C, this routine is working. No more headaches! I'm about to add CoQ10 to that list, but was looking to see if the Tekturna might interfere.

I have been on Tekturna 150 mg for about 5 or 6 weeks now and along with Atacand 32 mg my blood pressure is finally under control 127 over 72, numbers even lower at times. 111 over 68 this morning. HOWEVER I am experiencing some light-headedness, bordering on dizziness and some shortness of breath. Although I like the medicine I think I will have to have my dosages tweaked some.

Did not work. Made heart race.

I have only been on Tekturna for 9 days. The effect was immediate. I am also on a calcium channel blocker (Tiazac) and hydrochlorothiazide. I was put on Tekturna because of palpitations experienced with Diovan (ugly drug in my opinion, same company produces both however). The palpitations were pretty bad on Diovan, 24 hour monitor by EKG etc. After a few days of substituting Tekturna for Diovan, there are no more palpitations.

Tekturna seemed to help my blood pressure initially, however after 2 to 3 days the muscles in my calves were achy from even short walks, and after nearly 2 weeks my mouth and teeth became extremely sensitive and it hurt to eat or chew much of anything, even brushing my teeth became painful. I am going to stop taking this because the side effects are too uncomfortable.

Very good medicine. Blood pressure is down and no side effects. Also, sex is much better now.

After heart surgery, I had problems finding a medicine to lower my blood pressure. The one I was taking before surgery did not work. After trying several different medicines, my cardiologist put me on Tekturna. It did not do the job until he tried me on Tekturna Hct which has a low dosage of diuretic. This works great for me. I have been on it for three years and I have no side effects. I will stay on it.

A specialist "messed" with my blood pressure by changing off the Lisinopril. It took months to get it stabilized again, with a whole battery of dosage alterations. Finally had to stop taking the lisinopril because I developed a horrible cough. He put me on Tekturna, with Clonidine at night, and my pressure has stabilized, finally. The cough is gone, and I really appreciate the Tekturna. I can't take Beta Blockers or Calcium Channel blockers, so the Tekturna was a God send.

My blood pressure is finally under control. Have been on several medications for the past 6 years and this one hit the spot. No side effects after nearly 3 weeks of taking this. A little expensive but well worth it to finally stablize my pressure. Thank you.

Tekturna was a bad experience for me - it did the opposite of what it was intended to do. Because ARBs and ACE inhibitors were not working well anymore, I was switched to Tekturna. The first day I took 150 mg of Tekturna with a small rise in blood pressure. The second morning, I took 300 mg of Tekturna and quickly developed a piercing headache (and I rarely get headaches for any reason) and felt very "unwell", and by the afternoon, my blood pressure had risen from 140/90 to an ALL TIME RECORD HIGH for me - 170/100! I woke up the third day with a sore throat . My waking BP on this third day was 138/89 (after taking 2.5 mg Xanax to lower my dangerous BP the night before), but after 150 mg of Tekturna, my BP soared to 159/92 and is still rising.

Caused moderate to severe pain in lower back, at times difficult moving/transferring position.

My blood pressure wasn't nearly as high as those I've been reading in the comments and hasn't lowered it as much. Was 140/100 now 120/70, but after 6 months have found my heart racing and my pulse seems very strong, having leg cramps and bloating (only side effect that doesn't appear anywhere else) I'm going to have the doctor tweak this dosage to see if I can stop the side effects.

Before I started taking Tekturna HCT, my blood pressure was in the 175/100 range. I have been on Tekturna HCT for 6 months now and my blood pressure has dropped to the 140/70 range. I have had absolutely zero side effects.
