I have been taking exforge hct for several years. I am convinced that I have a chronic stuffed nose as a side effect. I have had surgery. But the stuffed nose returned. I told my doctor that prescribed this medication that I think my stuffed nose is because of this but he continues to prescribe it. I continue to take it . And I dont sleep well with a chronic stuffed nose. ## Exforge HCT contains Amlodipine, Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, this combination medication is used to treat high blood pressure and some cardiac conditions. And, yes, the nasal congestion is actually listed as a very common side effect of using this medication, along with nausea, peripheral edema and dizziness. Have you tried asking your doctor about switching to a different medication?

Can I take Alteril when I currently take Exforge to control blood pressure? ## After gathering information regarding Exforge and Alteril, and coming from my own perspective, (not being an MD or physician) I think it would be based on your own tolerance to Exforge and how well you can cope with it on its own. The two active ingredients in Alteril (L-Tryptophan and Melatonin) in my opinion wouldn't converse with Exforge. L-Tryptophan is simply an amino acid in conjunction with Melatonin (a naturally occurring hormone found in humans).

I as put on Co Diovan BP medication 15 months ago after being admitted to ICU with what the cardiologist seemed to think was arterial fibrillation. He said it was exactly the right medicine for my problem. I have just come out of ICU again now after having a transient ischemic attack. I am now on 5 different medications. My question is could the Co Diovan which I was taking before, have had anything to do with the second problem. The specialist I saw now said no. My second question is what will the other medication I am on now do to me. I am onCarloc 12.5mg, Exforge 10 ml, Adco Simvastatin and aspirin. The cardiologist said I did not need aspirin, now I do. I also have to be very careful of any medication with sulphur in it as 10 years ago I got Stephen-Johnson Syndrome from a sulphur d...

I tale Exforge for HBP and otc B super complex vitamines but I don't seem to have any energy I feel tired drug out and sleepy all time.Is there a perscription med my doctor can give me for energy that I can take along with my BP medicine?Please help. Thanx ## It's not likely, most such medications can cause blood pressure elevations and accelerated heart rate. Have you tried a complete vitamin? Also, how are your blood pressure readings? You can experience such symptoms if it's going too high, or too low.

Is it safe to take enforge with supplements? ## looking to buy pp's pm's ## Did you mean Exforge, which contains Amlodipine and is usually used for high blood pressure? It really depends on the type of supplement. Some things, such as a multivitamin or other vitamins are mostly safe. However, you have to be careful using supplements containing Potassium, as some blood pressure medications can cause it to be elevated in your body and too much of it is just as dangerous as not enough. You also should not use products containing Licorice root or extract, because it can raise blood pressure. Jd, I am sorry, but I have no idea what your abbreviations are referring to. However, you should be informed that this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications. this is a...

Hi, I started taking Exforge Tab 5/80 mg for three days and I feel like I have the flu! This is my first time ever taking a high blood pressure medicine, and I am a foreigner living in Taiwan. Not sure if I have confidence they gave me the right med, as I saw online that Exforge is usually given when other high blood pressure meds have not worked. I have slight fever, chills, aches, sore throat, headache. I need to travel to Nepal in a week, and don't want to feel like this. Wondering if I should hold off until I get back. Wondering if these symptoms are normal.

I am 47, weigh 70kg, am type 2 diabetic and have been taking Galvus Met 1000mg for my diabetic condition along with Bilocor 5mg & Co Exforge 5mg/160mg/12.5mg for the past 4 years. However, my blood pressure does not want to come down. My average BP is 180/90. What can be the cause? My medication? ## It is most likely that it is due to the diabetes, and not the medications. They usually go hand in hand, according to NIH reports. Do you watch your diet to make sure that you don't take in a lot of sodium and fat? Ar you on any other medications? How much exercise do you get?

My mom has sores under the plate in her mouth. The clinic has given her Ilvitrim 400g tablets. Is it safe for her to take these together with her co exforge blood pressure tablets? Also with the Ilvitrim she was told to take 2 tablets every 2 hours: that does not sound right to me? ## Hello, Mich! How is your mom doing? Yes, they can be taken together, as long as her doctor approves. But it may cause an elevation in her potassium level, so her doctor should be monitoring her regularly. And yes, that can be a normal dosage, depending on how severe the infection from sores has become. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It might be best to leave the plate out and for her to only eat soft foods for a...

I am taking exforge. But BP was still around 145/155 over 60. HR Pulse around 65. Dr put me on 5mg of Bystolic 3 days ago which lowered BP to 125 avg. over 60 but lowered my HR to 52/58 range. I usually go on 2-3 mile but now get breathless when walking or working in the yard. Is this a temporary side effect and should I be concerned. ## Hello, Chuck! How are you? Has there been any change? Yes, if you're experiencing symptoms, you should consult your doctor, you may need to switch to a different medication. Other side effects, as reported by the FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination.

How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is listed by the FDA as most commonly being used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Yes, there is a risk of that, but not a very high one. If your heart is working to hard, you should take this, as prescribed by the doctor, because letting th...

I had a high blood pressure reading for about a week between 159/69 & 200/69. My doctor changed my meds from Exforge 10/320 once a day to HCTZ 25 mg 3x a week to Diltiazem 240 mg SR caps every 12 hours & Edarbi 80 mg once a day. Gradually I saw a reduction in my blood pressure i.e. between 120/59 & 130/59. However my pulse rate has dropped to fom 70's to between 50 & 55. Today my pulse dropped to 47. This is dangerously low. I left a message at my doctors office, but he has not contacted me back. I am very concerned about this extremely low pulse. Please let me know what I can do to lessen this side effect that I believe may be coming from the Diltiazem. ## Hello, Doris! How are you? When was your pulse that low, was it in a resting state, or during activity? Did you...
