Hello there,
My husband is on benicar 20 mg and is having good results. he was on Diovan 340mg and had lots of problems. he got to the point he couldnt stay awake. he had leg cramps, feet cramps, loss of appetite, no energy,and was just totally letharic. I went to the site for Diovan and he had all the side effects. he went to his GP and told him. he prescribed benicar 20 mg and my husband is back to his old self, energetic, stays awake, eats good again, etc
Hw asked for benicar because both our grown daughters were taking it with good results. In our family, usually what works for one will for another. he is having good results and I hope it helps you. His BP is around 119/70, pulse 75. thats real good for him as he is so hyper, he stays busy doing something. he is 72 years old so I am not complaining. I am 71. Good luck!!!
