    I have been taking Diltaizem XT for about a year, but it was barely controllin my HBP. I started taking Prinzine (10-12.5) about 6 months ago and my BP is great! I had it checked the other day and it was 108/63! I coughed some at first, but that disappeared. No other problems. Published: March 07, 2008 ::

    i have high blood pressure and i was takeing atenolol & it made me light headed my blood pressure was not going the way i wanted it to. but when i switched to prinzide oral i have only got a little cough every now and then. i can handle a little bit of a cough instead of high blood pressure but everyone experiences things differently.

    I've been on Prinzide 20-25MG for 6 months and it has been fabulous. When I started my blood pressure was 180/110. Within the first month's checkup, it was down to normal limits. A common side effect is a cough, which I did not have immediately but did experience a cough around 2-3 months of starting it, but it only lasted about a month and never really that disruptive.

    I had a reaction to this drug. Arms, face & chest turned scarlet red and burned and itched. Also, urine output was very much decreased. I only took for one day. Published: August 27, 2008 ::

    I suffered a VERY severe reaction to prinizide! It was frightful! My condition was diagnosed as angio-edema. My face, lips, cheeks were swollen nearly twice it's size. It seems it was an allergic reaction; SCARY!! Published: December 04, 2008 ::

    This drug has given me no side effects. I take the smallest dosage available and then take 1/2 tablet in morning and the other 1/2 at night. That seems to keep my blood pressure level. Published: April 25, 2009 ::

    Comment from: pk, 35-44 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

    Within two days I had terrible swelling of my upper lip. I went back to the ER and after a huge dose of Benadryl I finally looked normal again about 12 hours later. Published: April 20, 2009 ::

    I would like a medication that tastes better and isn't so small that I easily lose my pill. Published: April 11, 2009 ::

    Comment from: jerry, 55-64 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

    This medication has lowered my blood pressure with only a slight increase in urination as a result. But it has only lowered it from a type to hypertension to a type 1. I am hoping that an increase in exercise will lower it further. Published: March 30, 2009 ::
