have been on hyzaar for 4 months and still have pressure's 140/103 weekly,goes up and down regularly, but never 170/70.

Third BP medicine in last several months. Developed horrible cough while on Lisinopil so put on Hyzaar 100/12.5. Side effects are awful which include anxiety attacks, tingling in extremities, heart flutters (which Dr. tried to say was heart attack - proven wrong, tried to tell him it was meds), joint aches, dry mouth, tiredness, etc. Making another Dr. appt. and getting off of this medicine ASAP!

I have taken Hyzaar for 3 years, and it has lowered my blood pressure. I have been experiencing feet pain, on the top of my feet and in my big toes. My doctors refuses to believe that this drug is causing my feet problems. I have been to several different podiatrists and orthopedic doctors, and I still do not know why my feet hurt.

Have taken 100/25 for many years and BP is always elevated and Im suggering from many of the side effects,such as high cholesterol,high blood sugar,swollen gallbladder,ED,and others.

When I first started this medication I received a low dose 50mg and as strange as it seems it would kick in 8hrs later, it was increased to 100mg,now its working. Side effects are fatigue, loss of appetite, decreased libido. After trying several different drugs this one has lowererd my pressure the side effects aren't that bad.

depending on what I eat, I have sudden urges to urinate while on this med. I've been on it for almost three years now.

I have been on this medication for at least 10 years. Recently had to change dosage from (1) 50/12.5 per day to (2) per day. One in AM and one in PM. Working a whole lot better. It is now generic. It does eat up your potassium which causes leg weakness but taking potassium supplements 3 times a day removes that for me. Low potassium is the cause of many of the referenced symptoms - try potassium. Let your doctor know what you are taking. Start with 1 per day and if you need more do so. Have your blood checked now for potassium levels it just might be the cause of your symptoms and not the med's alone. I took 100/12.5 for a few weeks and my leg weakness got really bad as well as not being clear headed. My blood was checked and sure enough my potassium was down below recommended levels. I increase potassium and it helped. My doctor took me off that dosage and put be on 50/12.5 twice a day. He also said that the medication is only in your system for about 12 hours so taking 2 per day is working great for me. Also still taking 3 potassium supplements (OTC) per day. I use Nature Made brand 550mg. As long as I keep that up I feel just fine and blood pressure is great. Talk to your doctor about potassium.

I am experienceing hairloss and have wondered if this drug is a contributing factor. I also take glucophage and zetia. I did not have diabetes until after taking this drug. Could this have something to do with my diabetes and hair loss?

It worked beautifully at lowering my BP, although it was a gradual process not a quick fix. A side note is that it seems to cause occasional ED.
