"I have been prescribed this medicine for my out-of-control blood pressure. First week, no problems, and my blood pressure went down tremendously. The second week, not so good. I had muscle pains in my stomach and legs! Also, my lips swelled up so bad! I couldn't continue taking that, now I'm just on lisinopril."

"I was diagnosed with high blood pressure in 1993. The only medication my doctor found to work for me was Nifedical XL 60 mg tablet. My doctor started me on 1 x 60 mg, 1 Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, and 1 Losartan 100 mg, but my high blood pressure was still high. So the doctor gave me 2 x 60 mg tablets of Nifedical, and my blood pressure has been good since. I have been taking 2 Nifedical XL 60 mg for 21 years now. I had no problems or side effects until my doctor and specialist put me on Avodart 0.5 mg, which I took for 27 months. The interaction between Nifedical and Avodart enlarged my breasts, especially my right one, and caused ejaculation disorder. If it weren't for this website's interaction information on my medication, I would still be taking Avodart. My doctors didn't know or care, or say 'I'm sorry,' or 'I didn't know'; cold people they are."
