Azilsartan medoxomil for High Blood Pressure "I've been having significantly higher BP on my right side. July 2018, a cardiologist gave me Edarbi samples, low dose, can't remember what it was. After the first week, I didn't feel any changes. After 7 days, I developed severe muscle weakness. Could not get around, had to use a walking cane. Weak muscles everywhere there is muscle tissue. I stopped Edarbi immediately, felt only slight improvement but never recovered completely. Later, my primary diagnosed PMR. I'm too young for it, never had it before. I'm absolutely sure Edarbi caused it."

Azilsartan medoxomil for High Blood Pressure "I started taking Edarbi for 20 days or so, and it was okay, but it seems just recently I felt weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, dehydration, chest pains, and facial spasm over my lip. I had to go to the emergency room for the overall feeling. I wasn’t sure how a medicine that started off okay could do this to me until I read all the reviews. It seems it’s okay for some and bad for others. I may have to look at other options."

For High Blood Pressure "This drug is exceptional. For those who give it 1 star because they felt weak or dizzy, I bet they need to simply reduce the dose. I only need 10 mg/day to drop my bp from 155/90 to 120/70. Don't just trust the docs and take 40 or 80 mg because this is a new drug and they don't know how to dose it yet. The trick is to keep lowering the dose until your bp begins to move up from the ideal. Many people here probably only need 20 mg/day or maybe just 10 mg for it to work."
