For High Blood Pressure "Age 47, pretty healthy otherwise, and still fairly athletic. Blood pressure without meds 140-150 systolic, 90-100 diastolic. With other meds like losartan and diltiazem, it was only 5-10 points lower on each side. But with Edarbyclor 40/12.5, my BP dropped within a few days to 103/60, and I felt awful. Way too low. So I cut the pills in half and have been taking those for 4 days. Had a few okay days, but feel awful again today. BP is 108/68. It works in lowering blood pressure, but in my experience, the side effects aren't even close to worth it. Headaches, random pains, back pain, dehydration (even with excess consumption of water), muscle cramps, increased itching (but no hives), irregular heartbeat, dizziness (especially when squatting/standing)."

For High Blood Pressure "I've been on Edarbyclor for 8 months and suffered through nausea and diarrhea. The side effects of hives and itching have gone too far. I’m sitting here swollen and itchy and trying to figure out how to get off of this medication. I thought it was the carvedilol, but I stopped taking that yesterday and woke up like this after taking Edarbyclor last night. I wanted it to work because it's effective at lowering BP. This is not a good one for me."
