Brands > Benicar

My 14 year old son lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. I've heard that this is a sign of diabetes so I took him to the doctor to see if he was alright. The doctor found that type 2 diabetes. They also found that he had high levels of blood pressure. He was put on Beniar and ever since it's kept his blood pressure levels under check.

My husband is a diabetic, and often suffers from high blood pressure due to his diabetes. The doctor recommended and prescribed Benicar in the 40mg dosage. My husband has been taking Benicar for two years now, and his blood pressure is under control. I like it because it keeps his blood pressure at a normal level, and maintains it that way. There have been occasions where we forget to refill the prescription on time, and he doesn't take it for a few days but when we check his blood pressure it is still normal. My reasoning for this is that the medication works by lowering the blood pressure and preventing it from getting high. So far he has not had any side effects, and the medication is definitely working.

I took this med. It felt like an elephant was standing on my chest and my arm was aching. I stopped taking it as soon as possible. I was taking it for high blood pressure.
