When I was diagnosed as hypertensive, my blood pressure was 238/170. This medication, within a month, brought my pressure down to 110/70 on average. I had no side effects except for some slight dizzy spells when I first started taking it as my body was used to having high pressure. My body had to readjust with lower pressure. The only thing I do not like is that Exforge is not available in generic form and my prescription co-pay for namebrand drugs is $50. I hope a generic version comes out soon.

I have been using Exforge for about eight weeks. It has brought my blood pressure down to the normal range w/o any other noticiable side effects. I have been on three other HBP drugs in varying does and none have worked until Exforge. Published: November 26, 2007 ::

I have been using this medication for only one month and my blood pressure has already down, it was 188/100 its now 146/90 and that good compared to what it was and I feel somewhat better now, just knowing something is finally working for me. Published: November 24, 2007 ::

Satisfied up til now. But after 2 1/2 months I'm getting some real bad side effects. Dizzy, nightmares, loss of energy, weakness of legs, numbness in feet and now a closeness in my chest. Back to the Doc for a full blood workup ASAP. I hate new meds! Ya never know what they really do to you. Published: February 19, 2008 ::

The drug works well but it seems to bother my feet and ankles. I have experienced swelling and discomfort in my feet by the end of the day. I just have to kick off my shoes. Published: February 24, 2008 ::

I have had High Blood Pressure for 10 yrs now, being diagnosed at age 17. Through many Doctors, and many meds, this is the "1st" that has brought it to normal. I am recently experiencing dizziness,and blurred vision. I have been on the medication for about 6 months now, and will deal with the side effects, as the benefits of taking it are greatly higher. I just wish there was a generic, my copay is $29.00 per month. Published: December 10, 2007 ::
