Side effects of Coveram 5/5: I was taking Zestril 20 mg for many years and my Dr just recently 5 weeks ago suggested I change to Coveram 5/5. But since making the change I suffer from continuous mild headaches, slightly swollen ankles and have now developed rashes around both ankles. I had absolutely no side effects from the Zestril and only changed because my Dr advised me that Zestril was an old type of medication! I am 71 years of age and have suffered from mild hypertension for over 20 years. I want to go back to taking Zestril but just concerned about the transfer process. Should I just stop taking the Coveram and just start the Zestril the following day? Thanks for your advice. ## Hello, Tony! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're experiencing. However, accordin...

My doctor recently prescribed coveram for my hypertension. I searched the net and found some articles about its side effects, including erectile dysfunction. Shouldn't an improvement in blood flow address ED as well? Can I take coveram with meds/herbal food supplements for ED? ## Hello, Mr.Why! How are you? Are you suffering with ED from taking it? It's a possible side effect, but not everyone experiences it. Learn more Perindopril details here. Learn more Amlodipine details here. If you are suffering from ED, you should talk to your doctor, because there are other medications you can try that may not cause it. As to the medications or supplements, that will really depend on which ones you want to take. Can you please post back with more information? ## Hi, Thanks for the reply....

When using Coveram for high blood pressure Hello yes read the side affects from coveram of other people and their problems with it - the urinating is bad as I felt like going to the loo a lot - but one thing I would like to confirm is this does it affect a person's eye.

It recommends that people on this med should not take too much potassium. Does this include no orange juice or does it mean medicine with potassium? Thanks. ## Hello, Kathy! How are you?

Hi, I have been taking Coveram 10/10 for a little over 2 years now. In that time I have been suffering from the following symptoms. Headache, Chronic Fatigue, Ringing in the Ears, Sleep Insomnia. I have to get up to piss 6 times a night even though I have nothing to piss. When I wake up in the morning I dry vomit for no apparent reason and I feel as if I haven't slept all night.

I'm sorry about the side effects that you're experiencing. But yes, you'll need to change medications.

Is there a problem if I drink grapefruit juice while I am on Coveram 10? ## Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between grapefruit juice and Coveram (perindopril arginine).

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Perindopril Details I hope this info helps! ## Read the package insert.

I have started coveram which contains the active ingredient perindopril, but I am scared to take it because of all the bad side effects. ## Coveram contains Perindopril and Amlodipine. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. However, if you are taking it to treat high blood pressure, it is far more dangerous to let that continue out of control, than to take the medication. What side effects are you concerned about? ## I had a stroke 3 months ago and my Doctor prescribed Perindopril. Now I'm having bad reflux and burning sensations during the night. Can this be the side effects of Perindopril?

I have been taking coveram, but was then changed to amloc and perindopril, and since then I have had erectile dysfunction.

From what I've researched, a "loss of interest or pleasure" is listed as a less common side effect of Perindopril; which sounds exactly like what you're describing. Personally, I think you should do what feels right for yourself after weighing out the pros and cons of taking these medications (or perhaps just Perindopril in particular). There are numerous blood pressure medications and natural alternatives on the market for effectively managing hypertension. How...
