Lotrel Side Effects

Updated

My father, a 60 year old active man, started taking diovan. Shortly after, he began to have severe systemic joint pain. Medication was changed to Lotrel 5/10mg. After a week of taking it, he started with joint pain again. This joint pain is not localized. It is generalized through all of his joints. We were not certain it was the Lotrel, but he stopped it anyway. After being off of the medication for a few days, the joint pain decreased to his normal arthritis pain. He stayed off for a little over a week, then his bp required him to take a dose of medication si he restarted Lotrel. After 2 doses, the joint pain returned. His dc says that Lotrel should not cause this side effect and doesn't want to change the medication. Has anyone ever heard of this side effect before? Please help

The FDA does list it as being known to cause muscle, joint, or bone pain as side effects. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. NDC code: 0078-0405

I've experienced it myself with several blood pressure medications that I tried. There are many others that can be prescribed for him to try, it might be best to seek a second opinion, if this current doctor isn't being helpful.

You can't just take a medication like this occasionally to try to control high blood pressure, to really work, it must be taken as prescribed.

Is he on any other medications?

No. Other than the occasional ibuprofen when arthritis pain is too bad.
