I currently take Zestoretic in combination with Verelan PM for high blood pressure. This has been an effective combination of medications for my hpertension for nearly five years now. No major side effects so far, but I have to plan my mornings carefully since it does make me urinate more often than usual shortly after taking it. Generally, if I take this medicine when I wake up, before leaving for work, my bathroom routine returns to normal by noon or so. Published: October 06, 2007 ::

Comment from: SILVERANGEL, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

My doctor had me on blood pressure medicine for 3 years, and because my BP would go up, he would prescriibe a higher dose. Then the 1st of this year, 2007 I got the new doctor, and right away he changed me to ZESTORIC & VIOLA! My BP has been normal for the past 10 months! So, I love it! Thanks to the company & people who make this great medication! & Thank you, Dr. David ~ PATTI M Published: October 06, 2007 ::

I have been on zestoretic 20mg for a month now and I have not seen an improvement. My blood pressure is still high 160/110. I suffer from terrible side effects such as headache, dizzy spells and insomnia. I am thinking of switching to amlodipine. Published: April 13, 2009 ::

Comment from: jajohnston, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 5-10 years (Patient)

The problem is that pharmacies keep changing manufacturers and each new one makes the drug appear different. For example, the manufacturer that I last used was Lupin Limited which I found out was located in India, which really blew my mind. NOw it has changed, mostly because I changed pharmacies to the manufacturer, Watson and I have no idea where they are located. Lupin Ltd. put their tablets in a child-proof plastic sleeve which was somewhat safer but more difficult to get the tablets out. Those tablets have, for the past 10 years been a yellowish brown color. These new tablets made by WAtson are blue. Same strength. This is extremely confusing to people, especially older people. There should be some consistency in drugs, especially the color. Published: July 22, 2008 ::

Comment from: sakorox, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I am 26 and had moderately severe hypertension (190/110) and it was really affecting my anxiety... when my blood pressure went up, so did my anxiety. After numerous trials with other BP meds, I was put on this combo. I am taking the 10-12.5 dosage. Worst side effect for me is tingling of my hands and sometimes feet. My hands seem to fall asleep in any position above my heart after 10 seconds or so. It's pretty annoying, especially when just laying around. BP and hear rate are completely normal, however!
